Ronnie O’Sullivan waltzed into the quarter-final of the Chinese Grand Prix and could up his total net worth with a win.
The snooker legend is already worth a pretty penny and he could add to his pot by winning the Chinese Grand Prix this month.
The Rocket has dominated snooker over the years and has earned himself a huge wedge of cash in the process.
No one has won more ranking events than O’Sullivan, who trophy cabinet is bulging with a total of 41 victories.

That includes a record-equalling seven World Championship titles, currently level with Stephen Hendry, while Ronnie has already stated that he is desperate to pull clear.
His fantastic snooker career has seen him become one of the richest players ever, nearing a net worth of £20million.
And he could top that up even further if he goes all the way in Xi’an, and looks in fine fettle to do exactly that.
After thrashing Hossein Vafaei 5-0 in the last eight, O’Sullivan has cruised into the quarter-finals of the Chinese Grand Prix.
With a total pot of £850,000, the winner of the tournament takes home the biggest slice of the pie with £177,000.
There is also a £5,000 bonus for whoever lands the highest break.

“I can’t keep playing snooker against the young guys, getting up for it, match-in-match-out, I don’t want to be playing just for the sake of it,” he said in November 2023.
“I want to keep playing for the next 10 to 15 years, earning a living, having a good time.
