Over the years, Ronnie O’Sullivan has been snooker’s most dynamic character. His diverse success has also brought about changes in his extravagant spending habits.
The 48-year-old defeated Ali Carter 10-7 over the weekend to win a record-tying ninth Masters title. He had been down 6-3 at one point.
Following the match, in which Sullivan claimed a £250,000 winners prize purse, he launched an astounding, profanity-filled tirade against Carter.
According to The Sun, Sullivan has accumulated wealth of over £14 million over his career in sports, but in recent years, he has curtailed his expenditures. Fame means nothing to the world No. 1 at times.
After a recent quarter-final victory over Barry Hawkins, the Englishman claimed he would be celebrating with a curry, a far cry from his days of partying with Oasis rockstars and purchasing crazily fast supercars.
Although O’Sullivan is clean today, he used to joyfully spend a lot of money on drunken outings that sometimes lasted for many days.
O’Sullivan disclosed that, prior to a tournament last year, he went on a shopping spree and bought fifteen pairs of running shoe laces. These days, his more modest retail investments include fitness and appropriate underwear.
Before defeating Judd Trump in the World Championship final, O’Sullivan divulged the finer points of his routine shopping excursion in Sheffield. He said, “If I had an hour spare, I would just go down to the running shop and buy these sets of laces, rather than sit in the room and stew thinking I have two hours to go.”
“I purchased a ton of pairs.” All I was doing was purchasing them as gifts for others. Thus, I knew certain people who might find it useful.
‘The underwear was another story. These new underwear finds were mine. He said to retired snooker player Alan McManus, “I bought a few of these pairs and had run out so I thought I’d better go and get some more.”
From extravagant nightlife expenditures, O’Sullivan, like many
Throughout his career, O’Sullivan also maintained a similarly low-key lifestyle, since he is well-known for being an admirer of barge boats and the associated way of life.
The attention that comes with being the biggest worldwide celebrity in snooker increases, and O’Sullivan once lived aboard a 60-foot canal yacht that he put up for sale for £129,950.
In 2007, he also had a smaller barge called Double Kiss, which was later sold.
O’Sullivan currently resides in an expansive estate in Essex, and it seems that his earlier, more careless spending tendencies have been reined back.
