Darts players are amongst the wealthiest sports people on the planet - a single World Championship title earns you a hefty £500,000.
It’s a sport which has seen prize money soar in recent years thanks to television and sponsorship deals, with darters’ earnings dwarfing those of previous legends of the game such as Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson.
Darting prodigy Luke Littler had barely won a penny 13 months ago but he’s now he’s a millionaire, particularly after winning the World Championships last week and bolstering his bank balance by a cool half million.
The PDC work out their seedings by looking at the prize money from ranking tournaments over the last two years.
Of course, this is only part of a dart players income, but it still tells us who is earning most on the oche.
Here are the current top 11 - and how much they have won.

9. Gerwyn Price
Former pro rugby player Gerwyn Price is one of the best darters to have ever taken to the oche, with 37 titles including the 2021 World Championship under his belt. Wins have been harder to come by in recent years for The Iceman, but he landed his second PDC World Cup of Darts in 2023 alongside Jonny Clayton. He's banked £480,500. | Getty Images
