Luke Littler Makes Revelation About His Money as Darts Star Closes In on £3m in Earnings
Luke Littler has opened up about his finances after edging closer to the £3 million mark in career prize money, insisting that his rapid rise and growing earnings have not changed his outlook.
The teenage world champion, who continues to dominate on the biggest stages in darts, has already accumulated extraordinary winnings for someone so young. With major titles, ranking events and World Series success adding up quickly, Littler is now closing in on £3m in prize money alone — a remarkable figure at this stage of his career.
Despite that, Littler revealed that money is not something he dwells on.
“I don’t really think about it,” he admitted. “I just play darts. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.”
“It hasn’t changed me”
Littler stressed that his lifestyle remains largely the same as it was before the trophies and paydays began to stack up. He credits his family for keeping him grounded and focused on what matters most.
“I’m still the same person,” he said. “I’ve always said that darts comes first. The money is a bonus, but it doesn’t change who I am.”
Those close to Littler have often highlighted his relaxed, almost casual approach away from the oche — a mindset that appears to translate into calmness under pressure when it matters most.
Focused on titles, not totals
While his earnings continue to rise at an astonishing rate, Littler insists his motivation is driven by success rather than financial milestones. He remains firmly focused on winning titles, improving his game and building a legacy.
That attitude has been evident in his performances, with Littler showing little sign of complacency despite achieving more before turning 20 than many players manage in a lifetime.
A rare maturity
As the prize money climbs and the spotlight intensifies, Littler’s comments underline a maturity beyond his years. In a sport where long careers are built on consistency and mental strength, his ability to separate performance from paydays may prove just as important as his natural talent.
With £3m now within touching distance — and many more opportunities ahead — Littler’s message is clear: the numbers can wait. For him, it’s still all about the darts.
