Let’s get silly for a moment. Phil Taylor’s net worth could buy you over 200,000 rounds of lager at your local pub. That’s enough beer to drown a small herd of cows. Or, if you prefer, you could buy every single item on the menu at a fancy restaurant—twice—and still tip the waiter with a solid gold fork.
You could also buy a whole fleet of Ford Transits and fill them with stuffed animals. Why? Because you can. That’s the kind of money we’re talking about. But Phil didn’t become a millionaire by buying random vans; he did it by being the absolute best at throwing tiny arrows at a board while drinking water.
The retirement that wasn’t really retirement
He officially retired from competitive darts in 2018, but he still pops up for exhibition matches. These aren’t charity gigs. He can charge £10,000 or more just to turn up, throw a few darts, and have a laugh. That’s about what you’d earn in a year of working the night shift at a petrol station. He does it in an evening.
So while you’re sitting on your sofa, watching him on telly, he’s probably counting his money. But don’t get jealous. He did it by being the best ever. You did it by binge-watching that show about a guy who sells vans. We all have our own paths.
