What Luke Littler gave to his brother and bought for himself shows his true character

Teenage darting prodigy Luke Littler is set to face off against long-standing rival Luke Humphries in the grand finale of the World Grand Prix.

The 2025 world champion, who managed an impressive 10 180s against Welshman Johnny Clayton in the semi-finals, will be looking to bring that same form into his clash with Humphries. The latter triumphed over Danny Noppert in the semi-finals, marking his third consecutive final appearance in this tournament. As with any major event, there's a hefty prize pot up for grabs.

While it may not match the £500,000 Littler pocketed for winning the World Championships earlier this year, tonight's victor will walk away with a cool £120,000.

Littler's exact net worth remains under wraps, but there's no doubt that the Warrington-born star is a millionaire after a few years at the pinnacle of the sport. Tonight's prize money will certainly boost his bank balance.

The 18-year-old generously shares his wealth with his family, who have been his rock throughout his career.

Following Littler's triumph as the youngest world champion earlier this year, he was seen handing over a bundle of cash to his brother Leon in a heartwarming gesture.

Both siblings beamed with joy as the entire family departed Ally Pally with big grins, whilst dad proudly carried the Sid Waddell trophy. Should Littler claim the major prize tonight, he's expected to share the moment with his loved ones once again.

It's well-documented that Littler is passionate about EA SPORTS FC and considers himself an avid gamer and football enthusiast. Whilst he may invest considerable sums into in-game purchases and various football merchandise, he has disclosed his most significant acquisition to date.

Following his Players Championship 20 victory in September 2024, journalists enquired about his biggest expenditure, and he confessed it was a bag, though the designer remains undisclosed.

This came shortly after he pocketed £80,000 in prize money at a tournament in Amsterdam.

With driving lessons now on his agenda, Littler was also questioned about which vehicle might catch his fancy once he's qualified to drive.

"I've always loved a Mercedes A-Class - just a small car," Littler said.

"Last year, I was looking at driving and I loved the Ford Focus, but now I've gone up in the world just a little!

"I haven't had driving lessons yet because it's been so hectic, but I'm going to have to do it before I get into my twenties when it'll be too late and I can't be bothered. If I get a car, it won't be a birthday present from anyone. I think it would have to be a birthday present from me to me."

Previously in his career, after securing runner-up position at the 2024 World Darts Championship, Littler cheekily disclosed his plans to spend his prize money on 'FIFA points' following his £200,000 windfall.

The darting phenomenon endured mockery from his peers during his youth for choosing darts, yet the teenage millionaire has certainly secured the last laugh.

"I started off 18 months in a nappy on a magnetic board. But to keep at it. Obviously, when I'd say to my mates, I've got a darts competitions," he said.

"They would say 'Darts?' Have you not seen it? . But I've come a long way. Me and my family have come a long way."

Discussing tonight's showdown against Humphries, Littler told Sky Sports: "I owe him one for the Premier League [final defeat]. Last year I lost in the first round but now I am in the final.

"We are ranked one and two [in the world] and hopefully I can get the win [on Sunday] and be on his back for that world number one spot."
