Luke Littler’s Net Worth Soars to £2 Million with £120,000 World Grand Prix Payday as Girlfriend Faith Cheers Him On
Luke Littler’s meteoric rise in darts reached new heights on October 12, 2025, when the 18-year-old world champion defeated Luke Humphries 6-3 in the final of the BoyleSports World Grand Prix at Leicester’s Mattioli Arena, banking a staggering **£120,000 winner’s prize** and pushing his career earnings past the £2 million mark. The “Nuke,” who averaged 102.15 in the best-of-11 sets decider—his highest in a TV major final—clinched his fourth major of 2025, adding to his Triple Crown haul (PDC World Championship, Premier League, World Matchplay). Girlfriend Faith Millar, the 19-year-old beauty therapist from Wigan, was front and center in the stands, her ecstatic celebration—leaping into hugs with Littler’s family—as he lifted the £600,000 event’s trophy, becoming a heartwarming highlight of the night.
The Grand Prix Glory: A Dominant Final Performance
Littler’s path to the final was a statement of intent: A 2-0 opener over Gian van Veen (105.58 average vs. van Veen’s record 106.47), a 3-0 rout of defending champion Mike De Decker (98.45 average), and a 3-2 comeback against Gerwyn Price (101.23 average, including a 154 checkout). In the final against Humphries—the world No. 1 and 2023 champion—Littler started with a 151 checkout and never looked back, reeling off three straight legs in Sets 1 and 2 for a 3-0 lead. Humphries fought back in Sets 3 and 4 (3-2, 3-1), but Littler sealed the match with a 13-dart leg and 121 finish on D18, holding all 11 throw legs (untouchable record).
“This is the best I’ve ever played in this format,” Littler told Sky Sports, laughing off his pre-tournament admission of “not liking” the double-in rule. The victory, his 18th PDC title, evens his major finals record against Humphries at 3-3 and lifts his PCOM to 42nd (£181,500), closing the gap on Humphries’ £1.68M Order of Merit lead. “Faith’s cheers make it all worthwhile—she’s my lucky charm,” Littler said, dedicating the win to his partner of nine months, who went public with their romance during the July World Matchplay.
Faith’s Celebration: The Heartwarming Highlight
Millar’s front-row support has been a constant since their relationship went Instagram-official in July 2025 with a courtside kiss after Littler’s Matchplay quarterfinal. During the final, she was spotted jumping to her feet after his 151 opener, hugging Littler’s parents Lisa and Anthony Buckley as the score hit 3-0. Her beaming smile and quick embrace with Littler post-trophy lift—captured on Sky Sports—went viral with 1.2 million views on X under #LittlerFaith: “Faith’s reaction is everything—Nuke’s got his queen!” The couple, who met in February 2025, has weathered trolls (“jealous much?” Millar shot back), with her attending the Australian Darts Masters and family Spain trips. “She’s lovely—keeps me normal,” Littler said of Millar, a beauty therapist 15 miles from his Warrington home.
Net Worth Surge: £2 Million and Counting
Littler’s Grand Prix triumph catapults his career prize money to **over £2 million**, per PDC Order of Merit figures, with the £120,000 adding to his 2025 haul of £1.5 million+ from the Triple Crown (World Championship £500,000, Premier League £275,000, World Matchplay £200,000). Including endorsements (Target Darts, boohooMAN, Xbox, KP Nuts), his net worth now exceeds £2.5 million, per Forbes estimates—up from £1.2 million at the start of 2025. Sports finance expert Dr. Rob Wilson predicts £20 million in prize money over the next decade alone, with self-management post-ZXF split potentially doubling that through savvy deals.
Littler’s first “big purchase” was modest—a bag for his Xbox—but the New York getaway with Millar pre-US Darts Masters (October 17-19) hints at balanced indulgence. “Money’s nice, but it’s the journey,” he told Sky Sports, crediting family for keeping him grounded.

What’s Next: US Darts Masters and No. 1 Chase
Littler, now 42nd on PCOM (£181,500), heads to New York as top seed for the US Darts Masters, where a final win over Humphries could net £30,000. Humphries leads the Order of Merit (£1.68M), but Littler’s surge narrows the gap. “Faith and family make it special—onto New York,” he posted, with Millar replying: “Proud of you always ❤️.”
Littler’s payday and Faith’s cheers aren’t just wins—they’re the fairy tale of darts’ golden boy. At 18, the Nuke’s loaded, loved, and limitless.
