Ronnie O’Sullivan begins four-week money-spinning exhibition tour as he gets over World Snooker Championship heartbreak
Ronnie O'Sullivan £32m - 'The Rocket' leads the way in the rist list with a reported net worth of £32m. He may have raked in over a million in prize money alone last season but he has other income streams such as sponsorship deals and other business ventures.
Stephen Hendry £13.2m - The man with the joint highest number of World Championship victories as O'Sullivan with seven. Hendry retired in 2012. He works in punditry and has his own YouTube channel named Cue Tips.
Mark Selby £9.3m Selby - has always had a taste for the finer things in life. He once bought a £250k Lamborghini Huracan to celebrate winning a tournament. The star also had an impressive mansion in Leicester, which features a playground in the garden and an indoor swimming pool – despite Mark not being able to swim.
Steve Davis £8m - Davis dominated snooker during the Eighties, winning six of nine World Snooker Championship finals and holding the world number one ranking for several years. The star, now 65, retired in 2016 after 38 seasons before going on to work as a BBC commentator and appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! In 2013. In 2019, the sportsman listed his luxury Essex mansion, which has four bedrooms, for £1.25million after buying it for £735,000 nine years earlier.
Mark Williams £4.8m - Three-time snooker World Champion Mark Williams, 48, who is known as ‘The Welsh Potting Machine’, is reportedly worth £4.83million. Amusingly, back in 2016, bosses from the UK Snooker Championship accidentally paid him £165,750 instead of the tournament winner Mark Selby. Four years later misfortune struck again when Mark revealed his bank account had been hacked and fraudsters had emptied his account. He only noticed when his bank card was declined in Wetherspoons after con artists bought eight pairs of trainers, including one for £1,200, a spa day, takeaways and a kitchen sink.
John Higgins £4.8m - The majority of Higgins' wealth comes from winnings. In 2021, John put his luxury five-bed mansion, which had a detached games room and sat along the River Clyde, in Scotland, up for sale for offers over £825,000.
Ken Doherty £4m - Doherty has one World Championship to his name, which he won in 1997. He has also picked up plenty of cash working as a pundit down the years and is a familiar face on World Championship coverage.
