There’s never been a better time to be a professional darts player - with prize money soaring and thousands of spectators packing into arenas most weeks to enjoy the sport.
This year the winner of the World Darts Championship will win a jaw-dropping £1 million, dwarfing the entire career earnings of players back in the days of Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson.
Last year saw Luke Humphries come close to becoming 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 less than two years.
The PDC official world rankings take account of how much money each player has made in the previous two years.
So, according to them, here are the 11 highest earners in darts at the moment.
