THE O2 Arena in London plays host to arguably the best darts players in the world on Thursday night.
Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael Van Gerwen and Michael Smith will all vie for the Premier League Darts title.
Should they win it, they’ll become £275,000 richer– adding to the wealth of money already earned in the competition.
The fab four already lead a lavish lifestyle away from oche.
One runs a farm, while another is making a small fortune through sponsors.
The richest is splashing the cash on cars, while the world No1 is lucky in love.
Here’s how their net worth and lifestyles compare.
Luke Littler, net worth £600,000
The golden boy of darts, Littler is just 18 – but already he’s earned over half a million.
Around half his net worth comes from prize money, with wins at the Bahrain Masters, Belgian Open and Austrian Open under his belt.
The other half comes from some incredible sponsors, including BoohooMAN, YouTubers Sidemen’s cereal Best and Target Darts – said to be the biggest contract the sport has ever seen.
All of that enables him to live a pretty exciting lifestyle for a teenager.
The Manchester United fan has been invited to Old Trafford and was introduced to Sir Alex Ferguson.
He has become a bonafide celebrity, appearing on the Jonathan Ross show alongside Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, singer Raye and rocker Liam Gallagher.
But he is kept down-to-earth by girlfriend Eloise Milburn, an amateur darts player herself.
They spend their time playing FIFA on Xbox together, as he remains pretty grounded for now.
Michael Van Gerwen, net worth £6million
Being the most established of all the darts stars on the circuit, MVG was once in Littler’s shoes.
A teenage sensation coming through, he has won countless titles – including three World Championships.
Now, at 35, he’s still one of the best and a seven-time Premier League winner.
He has amassed an impressive fortune believed to be around the £6million mark.
The Dutch superstar enjoys living a lavish lifestyle, including splashing the cash on luxury suits by Tom Ford and Brioni that can cost up to £4,500.
He also owns a sizeable Rolex collection, including the Submariner and Daytona models worth over £10,000 each.
As for his living quarters, MVG is believed to live in a mansion in Netherlands worth £1million.
While his car collection includes a £250,000 Rolls-Royce Ghost and aBMW X6 M50i, that starts at £76,000.
Luke Humphries, net worth £2million
Cool Hand Luke, the world’s best player, has amassed an impressive £2million fortune.
He is a little bit more modest with his spending habits in comparison to his rivals.
More at home at Elland Road watching his beloved Leeds than in a fancy restaurant, Humphries shares his family life on Instagram – with partner Kayley and their two children, Grace and Rowan, featuring in many posts.
They all live together in Crewe, Cheshire – although it’s not known how much the property cost, while he drives a Volkswagen T-Roc that has a starting price of £27,000.
Humphries’ biggest lifestyle change, however, came with his incredibly body transformation.
He lost an incredible four stone from 2021, including two stone during lockdown, and cuts a more svelte figure at the oche these days.
“Losing a bit of weight is a healthy life and a healthy mind,” he said.
“I feel really good, I feel full of energy. The hard work that I’ve put in through lockdown is helping me in that aspect and hopefully it carries me through to being a better player in the future.”
Michael Smith, net worth £2million
Bully Boy lives a charmed life away from darts.
The St Helens slinger bought a dream property that he converted into a stunning farmhouse.
Married to Polish beauty Dagmara Malczewska, the pair have two sons.
And they all tend to the animals that live on the property with them.
He keeps five cockerels and over 17 hens in a coop, as well as two tortoise.
Often, Smith shares snaps talking to his pets – just like a real-life Dr Dolittle.
In other pictures, he also shows off his soft side by resting a chick on his shoulder.
When he’s not a farmer, Smith loves to cheer on St Helens with his boys. You can bet they will be cheering him on Thursday too.
