The Sun claims that over his sporting career, Sullivan has amassed fortune totaling over £14 million; yet, in recent years, he has reduced his expenditures. At times, world No. 1 doesn’t care much about fame.
Far cry from his days of partying with Oasis rockstars and buying insanely fast supercars, the Englishman revealed he would be celebrating with a curry after a recent quarter-final triumph over Barry Hawkins.
Before taking down Judd Trump in the World Championship final, O’Sullivan shared the details of his typical Sheffield shopping trip. 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.” I was only buying them to give as gifts to other people. So those who I knew that would appreciate it.
The undergarments told a different tale. These new underwear finds were mine. Retired snooker player Alan McManus heard him say, “I bought a few of these pairs and had run out so I thought I’d better go and get some more.”
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 global star 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 in.
