Michael van Gerwen Net Worth
Michael van Gerwen belongs to the best professional darts players in the world. In 2015, he achieved major milestone, when his total lifetime winnings surpassed £1 million ($1.5 million). His current net worth is approximately £600,000 ($900,000). Are you interested in darts suddenly?
Michael was born 25 April 1989 in Boxtel, Netherlands. As a teenager, he made it to the final of Primus Masters Youth event. His BDO career started in 2005 and he switched to PDC in 2007. Today, he belongs to the elite. He’s the second darts player in the world (after Phil Taylor) that ever surpassed £1 million in prize money.
Van Gerwen was in a long-term relationship with Daphne Govers. He married his girlfriend in 2014. Mihaels’ nickname is Mighty Mike. It’s incredible how much he achieved in this sport in such a short time. He’s still only 26. His career is far from over.
But his road to success wasn’t easy. He worked several jobs as a teenager. At one point he worked as a tiler and found himself putting tiles in a luxury house owned by Dutch soccer star Dennis Bergkamp. Few years later, he can afford such a mansion himself. About money, Van Gerwen said once in an interview “I have just bought my 2nd home. You have to invest money wisely because you never know what will happen in the future.” And he’s of course right.
