This is a golden age for the bank balance of professional darts player - with prize money soaring and thousands of spectators packing into arenas most weeks to enjoy the sport (and a couple of beers).
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 household names like Eric Bristow and Kirkcaldy-born 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.
This week saw 18-year-old Littler become the youngest ever world number one after winning the Grand Slam of Darts - beating rival Humphries in the final.
He’s now well on course to becoming the richest darter in history, with potentially decades of wins to come.
To give an idea of players’ staggering earnings, we’ve looked at the most up-to-date PDC official world rankings, which show how much money each player has made in the previous two years.
According to them, here are the 13 highest earners in darts at the moment.
