Luke Littler has been named in Forbes’ 30 under 30 Europe list following his blockbuster introduction to the world of darts.
The 17-year-old burst onto the scene at the World Championship at the start of this year as he powered his way to the final, which he lost to Luke Humphries.
Since then, Littler has become a household name with more than 1.3million Instagram followers and lucrative endorsement deals with Skoda, boohooMAN, Target Darts and Prestige Building Supplies.
Having amassed over £200,000 in prize money already this year, ‘The Nuke’ is arguably the hottest young sporting prospect in the world right now and with darts very much increasing in popularity, his bank balance is surely going to prosper as a result.
Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Lando Norris also made the cut.
Littler is paving the way for a new generation of darts fanatics but he could have competition in just a few years thanks to a 10-year-old darts prodigy.

Competing in the Foundation Tour over the weekend, Scottish starlet Owen Bryceland won the Event 11 and Event 12 titles with a mind-blowing 104 average in his latest victory.
He even secured a Foundation Tour record with an average of 104.86 in one of his outings.
Considering Bryceland only took up darts two years ago, fans are getting rather excited at the prospect of a new Luke Littler hitting the scene.
On social media, one fan said: “The second coming of Luke Littler.”
Another wrote: “That is ridiculous, Owen Bryceland already sounds set for a pro career if he can do that regularly.”
A third said: “Can he even reach his darts if he hits double top?! Fair play to the lad he’ll be in the Premier League next year at this rate.”
Meanwhile one more said: “This lad is giving Luke Littler a run for his money. Not the first time I’ve heard of Owen either which is crazy.”
