James Richardson prize money
James Richardson has been paid £102,250 by the 268 darts events on this site, which ranks 106th of the 793 players they paid. The biggest of it was £27,000 at the 2018 PDC World Championship, where James Richardson lost in the round of 16.
Every figure here is a single payment. A darts tournament pays for where the run ended and not for each round on the way to it, so the £27,000 at the 2018 PDC World Championship is one payment with nothing behind it. That is the opposite of a football run, where a club collects again at every round it reaches.

Every payment
Where each run ended, and what the band paid for it
The 27 figures add up because none of them contains another: a band is paid once, so £102,250 is 27 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the £91,450,000 the 268 events paid out between them. The site holds 53 tournaments and James Richardson has been paid at fourteen of them. The biggest of the 39 that have not paid him are World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts and World Grand Prix.
