The 16-year-old’s career income was £2,500 before the World Darts Championships — but he pocketed £200,000 after his amazing run to the final, where he lost to Luke Humphries, 28.

After the final, HMRC came under fire for pointing out on X/Twitter that Luke the Nuke was liable for £83,000 tax on his prize money.

But experts predict the Warrington wonderkid — who turns 17 on Sunday — will earn millions by the time he is 21.

And they estimate he will bank £40million in the course of his career.
