Snooker's top 10 best-paid stars as 2023 World Championship hots up, but does Ronnie O'Sullivan top the charts? | The Sun

RONNIE O'SULLIVAN will pocket £500,000 if he wins this year's Snooker World Championship and clinches his record-breaking eighth title.

Last year, The Rocket was victorious at the Crucible and runner-up at the European Masters.

And the list of the top ten highest earners from the 2021-22 snooker season shows that O'Sullivan reaped the financial rewards of his success.

O'Sullivan made a sensational £821,000 in prize money alone during the season, claim OLBG.

An eye-watering £13million was sent to the accounts of the elite players last term.

Neil Robertson is not far behind O'Sullivan after earning £708,000.

The Aussie won the English Open, Players Championship and Tour Championship last year.

In third is Judd Trump with a sizeable £647,000 in winnings.

And the top five is completed with John Higgins on £418,400 and Zhao Xintong with £386,350.

Mark Williams, Luca Brecel, Yan Bingtao, Mark Allen and Kyren Wilson all sneak in to make up the top ten.
