Darts players are amongst the wealthiest sports people on the planet - a single World Championship title earns you a hefty £500,000.
It’s a sport which has seen prize money soar in recent years thanks to television and sponsorship deals, with darters’ earnings dwarfing those of previous legends of the game such as Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson.
This year saw Luke Humphries come close to become the first player to win more than £2 million in a single season, while prodigy Luke Littler is already a millionaire despite having only played professionally for just over a year.
We’ve taken a look at the players who have won the most prize money in the history of the sport, with their true net worth being around 50 per cent more due to sponsorship, exhibition games, advertising deals, investments and media work.
Here are the 11 richest.
9. Gerwyn Price
Former pro rugby player Gerwyn Price will be pleased that he switched sports, having won over £3 million. The Iceman has won 37 senior PDC titles, including three Grand Slam titles and the 2021 World Championship. | Getty Images
10. Luke Humphries
It shows how much money is now in the game that relative newcomer Luke Humphries is in ninth place, with earnings of around £2.8 million. He may have failed to defend his World Championship title after crashing out to Peter Wright - losing the chance to become the first player to earn more than £2 million in a single season - but he'll be back next year. He's only been in the sport for five years, so there's every chance he'll end up topping this list. | Getty Images
11. Simon Whitlock
Aussie elder stateman Simon Whitlock has been playing darts professionally for over 25 years and, while he hasn't won as many tournaments as the others on this list, his consistency has paid dividends when it comes prize money. He's reached the final of both the PDC and BDO World Championships and has won the European Championship and World Cup of Darts. He's earned around £2.5 million. He completes our list. | Getty Images
