Luke Littler won't be putting his feet up in his luxurious mansion anytime soon, as the darting calendar jumps back into action. The teenager won his second consecutive World Championship triumph against Gian van Veen earlier this month.

The 19-year-old didn't waste a moment, immediately securing another title at the inaugural Saudi Arabia Darts Masters with an 8-5 thrashing of Michael van Gerwen. The Nuke's meteoric rise over the past 12 months has been absolutely staggering, racking up six major trophies in 2025 alone.

His recent haul includes the UK Open, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, Grand Slam, Players Championship Finals and, as mentioned, the World Championship title.

Littler shows no intention of easing off, insisting there's plenty more domination to come. Following his Saudi triumph, he 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.

Littler has spent his earnings on a stunning £1million mansion for his mum and dad after pocketing a seven-figure prize from his latest world title triumph. The darts sensation previously rented a £6,000-a-month pad on Cheshire's Millionaire's Row.

Now, Littler has bought his parents a lavish five-bedroom property - a far cry from their former £180,000 semi-detached family home.

The impressive new place boasts solar panels, a hot tub and an impressive open-plan kitchen perfect for entertaining. Estate agents have dubbed it a "stunning extended family home," and Littler's folks are said to be over the moon 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 property comes complete with five bedrooms and bathrooms, beautifully looked-after gardens, ample driveway space and a double garage. There's even a Juliette balcony overlooking the outdoor area and a vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom.

Luxury touches include underfloor heating throughout, a log-burning stove, wine coolers and a bar area in the garden. The home changed hands five years ago for £710,000, before reaching its current valuation of £1m in 2025.

Littler's decision to treat his family with such a luxurious home is a testament to his maturity at a young age, highlighting the importance of his roots. The Nuke is determined to stay grounded throughout his career and attributes this mindset to his parents.

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."

Littler managed to secure the funds for this mansion by clinching the World Championship earlier in January. The youngest-ever champion pocketed a cool £1m after the final prize pot was doubled from £500,000 in 2025.

The 19-year-old had previously won that amount a year ago when he triumphed over Van Gerwen to claim his first world title. Now, Littler has boosted his net worth of £6.5m with his victory over Van Veen.

'The Nuke' has amassed his wealth through major tournament victories over the past few years, as well as several endorsement deals. These include partnerships with brands such as BoohooMAN, KP Nuts and Xbox.

Littler is set to see his net worth soar over the coming years after signing a record-breaking £20m deal with his dart supplier, Target Darts. The teenager recently renewed his contract, making it the most lucrative deal ever seen in the world of darts.

The extension, which includes potential future earnings and bonuses as well as a percentage of product and equipment sales, is valued at £20m to be spread over 10 years.

The 'Littler effect' has been making waves since he made a stunning debut run to 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.

In recognition of his skyrocketing popularity, Littler has been handsomely rewarded and is buzzing about 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.

"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, 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."
