Luke Littler, the rising star of professional darts, has marked his recent successes with the purchase of a lavish mansion valued at £1 million. This acquisition follows his remarkable victory at the World Championship, where he defeated Gian van Veen to secure his second consecutive title. At just 19 years old, Littler has quickly become a dominant force in the sport, winning six major titles in 2025, including the inaugural Saudi Arabia Darts Masters against Michael van Gerwen.
Littler’s rapid ascent in darts has not only earned him accolades but also significant financial rewards. His latest championship win in January 2025 came with a prize of £1 million, doubling the final prize pot from previous years. This victory has contributed to his net worth, which currently stands at approximately £6.5 million.
A Generous Gift for His Parents
The newly acquired mansion, located in Cheshire, features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and modern amenities such as solar panels and a hot tub. This property is not just a personal investment for Littler but also a heartfelt gift for his parents. After winning his first World Championship, he upgraded from their semi-detached family home, valued at £180,000, to a rented property on Millionaire’s Row for £6,000 per month.
Littler expressed his commitment to staying grounded despite his newfound wealth. He stated, “Obviously, it’s a lot of money. I’m the first player to break the £2 million mark. Hopefully, I can try and get up to £3 million. Us as a family, we’ve never had this sort of money. So, I’m not going to go and waste it.” His dedication to his family and community is evident as he continues to prioritize their well-being.
A source close to Littler shared with the Daily Mail, “Luke’s a young man. He’s bought this place and is living there with his mum and dad, but in time he’ll spread his wings. It’s a beautiful Christmas present for them, but it’s only what they deserve.”
Record-Breaking Contracts and Future Prospects
In addition to his championship earnings, Littler has signed a groundbreaking contract with Target Darts worth £20 million. This agreement is expected to span a decade and includes potential future earnings, bonuses, and a percentage of product sales. The deal marks a significant milestone in the history of darts, further solidifying Littler’s status in the sport.
Garry Plummer, chairman of Target Darts, remarked on Littler’s journey: “Watching him grow since, as both a player and a person, has been a privilege. His achievements on and off the oche have been remarkable.” Littler’s popularity has surged since his debut at the World Championship final in 2024, and he has become a familiar face in the sport.
As he continues to build his career, Littler remains focused on his goals. He stated, “Target has believed in me from day one, and I’m delighted that there are many more years to come.” With his determination and talent, the young champion is poised for even greater achievements in the world of darts.
