Luke Littler’s new mansion after £1m prize and £20m contract secured | Other | Sport

Luke Littler won’t be lounging around in his new mansion as the darts season kicks off once again. The 19-year-old secured his second consecutive World Championship against Gian van Veen, firmly establishing himself as a formidable force in the sport.

Without missing a beat, he went on to win the inaugural Saudi Arabia Darts Masters, defeating Michael van Gerwen 8-5. Littler’s meteoric rise over the past year has been nothing short of extraordinary, bagging six major titles in 2025 alone. His trophy haul includes the UK Open, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, Grand Slam, Players Championship Finals and, of course, the World Championship.

The youngster shows no signs of slowing down, promising even more dominance in the world of darts. Following his victory in Saudi, Littler said: “I think I have overachieved, but I’ve definitely got better as I’ve got older and the calendar’s gone on and we’ve entered more tournaments.

“But we don’t stop here, we try and get better. If you are not enjoying it then there’s no point travelling, there is no point even stepping on stage. But I will be around for many, many years and I’m still hungry for more titles.”

Here, Express Sport delves into the latest buzz surrounding Littler, including his recent purchase of a lavish mansion and his numerous paydays.

Major mansion purchase

After clinching his first World Championship, Littler upgraded from his semi-detached family home worth £180,000 to a rented property on Millionaire’s Row in Cheshire, costing £6,000 per month. Following another world title win and a seven-figure cash prize, he has now purchased a £1million mansion as a gift for his parents.

The Daily Mail reports that this five-bedroom property boasts solar panels, a hot tub, and a spacious open-plan kitchen perfect for entertaining. Estate agents have labelled the property as a “stunning extended family home,” and Littler’s parents are reportedly overjoyed with the generous gift. A source told 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, and the hope is they will stay there. It’s not a bad Christmas present for them, but it’s only what they deserve, having done everything to help him get where he is today.”

The mansion also features five bathrooms, a beautifully landscaped garden, ample driveway space, and a double garage. A Juliette balcony overlooks the outdoor area, and the main bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling.

The property includes underfloor heating throughout, a log-burning stove, wine coolers, and a bar area in the garden. The house was last sold five years ago for £710,000 before being valued at £1m in 2025.

Littler’s choice to invest in such a lavish home for his family at a tender age is a testament to his maturity and deep-rooted values. The Nuke remains committed to staying grounded throughout his career, attributing this mindset to his parents’ guidance.

He said: “Obviously, it’s a lot of money. I’m the first player to break the £2m mark. Hopefully, I can try and get up to £3m. Obviously, the money’s there. I’ve said it before in the past, us as a family we’ve never had this sort of money. So, I’m not going to go and waste it.”

“I’m not going to change. I’m not going to start buying stuff. I’ll just stay as I am. I don’t need to change. This is me as I am. Even when I’m at home, I’m the same person. I’m just a darts player at the end of the day. People call me a celebrity, but I’m just a boy living his dream.”

£1million prize secured with ease

The funds for Littler’s mansion were secured through his victory at the World Championship earlier in January. The young champion bagged a cool million for his triumph, thanks to the final prize pot doubling from £500,000 in 2025.

The 19-year-old had previously won the same amount a year ago when he defeated Van Gerwen to claim his first world title. Now, with his win over Van Veen, Littler has further boosted his net worth, which stands at £6.5m.

The Nuke’s fortune has been amassed through his major tournament victories over recent years, coupled with several endorsement deals with brands like BoohooMAN, KP Nuts and Xbox.

£20million payday

Littler is set to see his net worth soar after signing a record-breaking £20m deal with his dart supplier, Target Darts. This contract, which includes potential future earnings and bonuses as well as a percentage of product and equipment sales, is the most lucrative in the history of darts and will span over a decade.

The ‘Littler effect’ has been making waves since he made his debut at the World Championship final in 2024 at the tender age of 16. His face has become a staple of the sport, and his dart sets are flying off the shelves.

With his popularity on the rise, Littler has been aptly rewarded and is looking forward to what lies ahead. He said: “Target has believed in me from day one and I’m delighted that there are many more years to come.”

and “From my playing career to my product range, we’ve built everything together and I’m really excited to commit to our partnership long-term and see where we can take this next.”

Garry Plummer, the chairman of Target, said: “I met Luke at the BDO Youth World Championship Qualifier when he was 12, and that day his dad asked if we would sponsor him. We’d never taken on someone so young, but I saw something special in him and saying yes was easy.

“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, and this new agreement celebrates everything we’ve built together and the exciting future ahead.”
