The 17-year-old has had an incredible year in darts after reaching the World Championship final in January, which he lost to Luke Humphries.But Littler has already been hugely successful, winning several tournaments – including his maiden year in the Premier League up against former world champions like Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith and Gerwyn Price.And his success has seen his bank balance bulge and he has already bagged over £364,000 in prize money alone.And PDC chairman Hearn believes that Littler will become a millionaire by next year, with his earnings from social media and sponsorship deals also factored in.”Yeah I think it could be this year [at age of 17],” he said on the Barry Hearn Show. “Yeah I think so.“I am pre-judging his performances, but I’d be surprised if he didn’t to be honest with you.“There is darts players out there already earning well over £1million – £2million per year as it is.“That is where the sport has got to and for Luke and the sport, it is only just the beginning.
