Snooker players are amongst the wealthiest sportspeople on the planet - a single World Championship title earns you a hefty £500,000.
It’s a sport which has seen prize money soar in recent years thanks to television and sponsorship deals, with increasing interest in China and the Far East bolstering the tournament coffers even more.
Last year alone three players - Judd Trump, Kyren Wilson and Ronnie O’Sullivan - took home more than a million pounds in prize money.
We’ve taken a look at the players who have won the most prize money in the history of the sport.
It’s worth noting that their true net worth is probably at least 50 per cent more due to sponsorship, exhibition games, advertising deals, investments and media work.
Having said that, here are the 17 richest snooker players, as at the start of the World Snooker Championship 2025.
