ROB CROSS is looking to secure his second World Darts Championship crown in the coming weeks. But who is he and how much is he worth? Here's what we know. Robert Cross is a professional darts player from Hastings in East Sussex. His love of darts started at the age of 15 when he started playing local league darts in Kent.
I might play darts on TV now but really I’ve not changed". His first teams were The Swan in Edenbridge and The Fountain in Cowden. On Mondays, he played in the Edenbridge & Oxted League, then on Tuesdays, The Sevenoaks Charity Darts League and the Crawley Friday Darts League.
Cross lives with his wife Georgia, son Leyton, and daughters Imogen, and Madison. Back in 2017, he posted a snap on Christmas Day of himself sitting with Georgia and their three children on X wishing all his supporters “a Merry Xmas”. He said: “I actually gave up playing darts for three years after my little boy was born.
“I was 20 when he came along, and then I started just playing down at the pub again, until my uncle half forced me to go to Norwich to play the qualifiers, in the Rileys, and it was just sort of life changing.”. Cross worked as an electrician before quitting in 2016 to pursue darts.
Cross has a reported net worth of up to £1.5million. He is currently ranked as the fifth-best darts player in the world and has earned £571,750 of prize money over the past two years. Despite the fame and money, he has vowed this will never change him.
