Being unbelievably talented certainly has its benefits, and these benefits are being felt more and more by darts world champion Luke Littler.
Aside from the combined £750,000 he won by being runner-up and winner of the PDC World Championship, Littler is pocketing plenty of pennies every week in the Premier League.
Littler and his fellow pros will also have one eye on next year's World Championship, which will see the winner pocket an eye-watering £1million for the first time ever.

In terms of the 2025 Premier League, a competition once again being dominated by The Nuke, BetUK have crunched the numbers to work out how much Littler is earning per leg of darts he's played so far.
Littler, who has won four nights this year, wins £10,000 for every night win, but in addition to that, players who hit a 9-darter also receive a set of golden darts valued at £30,000.
So if we assume that Littler has won around £70,000 so far in the Premier League, that means he's taken home on average £5,833 a week, £2,692 a match, and £288 per leg. Not too bad I would argue.

Of course The Nuke will be earning plenty of money on top of that from sponsorships and partnerships, but it's an insight into just how much being one of the world's best darts players can earn you.
Should Littler repeat his success from last year and retain his Premier League title, he'll take home an additional £275,000.
