HOW MUCH MONEY DO DARTS PLAYERS EARN AND CAN TOP PROS BECOME MILLIONAIRES?

[@deanknoote114]

Paul, this was really interesting, I’m enjoying your coms and punditry, just quietly, I’ve never felt more heavy hearted for anyone, that I’ve never met, as much as I did, sitting here in Western Australia watching THAT World Cup final ! I was gutted for you.

[@tonysinnott2785]

Great insight on the financial side of the game , great listening to paul s take on the game and view s on it , always interesting .

[@DaWidDiY]

Those money just on the paper but that’s absolutely true most people don’t think about all costs around. Now is definitely more prize for major tournaments but is more expenses too…

[@ScratchyBaws]

He was definitely referring to MVG when he spoke about expensive watches and luxury cars.

Very informative video welldone boys

PDC World Champion got 500k, finalist 200K. how much do they pay to enter big events?

[@93lornamae]

[@andrewbantick6311]

That’s Y you have a good accountant/ financial manager

[@kingoffifa]

very interesting video. thanks

Hate the tax man. We should find a better system than being robbed every month.

[@Marc-xc9uo]

You are not wrong! It’s daylight robbery.

[@GamezGuru1]

Yup, income tax is theft. You do not own your labour when they steal half of what you earn...

[@matchdarts142]

I think next years worlds will be £1 million for the winner 🏆

[@93lornamae]

No chance.

[@KRAM-zb2vc]

Even £22,000 is a yearly wage for most, so a few tournaments is a nice lifestyle 🤔

[@ianwilliamson2980]

you would make good finincail advisor paul

[@iMertin]

No bad wage as a 16 year old runner up 200k

[@davedenoon]

He'll do well to see half of that left to spend. Still not too shabby for a 16yo though!

[@CIC-qm9zt]

Paul Nicholson met worth is 5 million.

[@petrolhead1960]

Paul doesn’t sound Australian at all?

[@ZeroNiteLite]

I mean who doesn't pay a relatively large % of their income on tax... 100k a year is still a really good salary

[@elmono3939]

Paul is surprisingly intelligent, well-spoken, person for a dart player. BTW: Awful brick work !

[@Paulfarmer-en4vh]

Tax lots of

[@TonyWelch75]

Last thing Gilding should do is buy a house, if I was him I’d be heading to Turkey 😂

[@davedenoon]

brutal!

[@chrissilvester4875]

Far too much

[@jarrodfisher7089]

It’s ridiculous how much money there is for just playing a pub pastime this isn’t a sport it’s a pub pastime that’s all nothing more than that

[@seanlinesteammvg4967]

Can they become millionaires thats such a stupid line obviously MVG has made over 13m just in tournaments won alone that dont include sponsors and all that

[@93lornamae]

If you invest money and save money sensibly, you will be ok. Have to be smart.

[@davedenoon]

I think the point is that there is a generally accepted assumption that all relatively well known sportsmen are seriously minted and multi-millionaires. Whilst this might be true of some sports such as football or golf, in many sports (including darts) that just isn't the case. The very elite in darts will be very comfortable and there will be a handful of millionaires no question, but most of the guys on the tour - many of whom are household names for those with at least a passing interest in the sport - are making a living but are certainly not millionaires or living a life of luxury. A good life for many perhaps, but not as wealthy as most would assume. Just becasuse you see someone on the telly doesn't mean they are minted.
