Snooker stars’ amazing car collections including Ronnie O’Sullivan’s epic garage and world champ’s bank-busting Ferrari
THERE’S money in snooker, as well as petrolheads.
The world’s best players are splashing out on fancy motors – spending their winnings on Ferraris, Lamborghinis and more.
And it’s not just ‘Rocket’ Ronnie O’Sullivan who owns an impressive car collection.
Reigning World Snooker champion Luca Brecel confessed to spending all his prize money from his 2023 win on a Ferrari, Porsche and Range Rover.
While, Mark Selby boasts a Lamborghini and Judd Trump has a Rolls-Royce.
SunSport looks at snooker stars and their cars.
Mark Selby
A year after he became world champion, Selby really treated himself.
In 2018, the four-time World Snooker Champion showed off his latest purchase – a £215,000 Lamborghini Huracan – on social media.
A few years later, he bought a toy version for his daughter after winning at the Crucible.
The stunning Huracan is able to reach a top speed of 202mph and goes from 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds.

Luca Brecel
Belgium’s hell-raising star Brecel is now looking to win more prize money, after spending his £500,000 Crucible winnings from last year on three amazing cars.
He forked out £250,000 on a beautiful Ferrari 488.
Brecel also bought his missus a £111,000 Porsche Taycan GT, as well as an £80,000 Range Rover Sport.
He revealed: “I bought two more cars this week, so I went from a millionaire to a non-millionaire.
“It was a conscious decision to buy the cars and maybe feel that bit of pressure again, to recreate the feeling I had of just starting my career.”
Judd Trump
Bristol star Judd is really into his cars.
In fact, he lives quite the lavish lifestyle – often holidaying in Dubai, where he rubbed shoulders with Salt Bae and ate his famous steak.
But when it comes to his wheels, he has two supercars.
One is a Rolls-Royce Ghost starting at £270,000.
Another is a BMW i8, which costs a minimum of £106,000.
Stephen Hendry
As one of snooker’s most successful players of all time, Hendry had all sorts of riches thrown at him.
He wasn’t the most flashy but lucky for him sponsors threw cars at him.
In 1990, aged just 21, he won his first World Championship. He was then gifted a £250,000 Ferrari Spider 348.
Hendry was also given a Bentley Continental GT following another win.
Mark Williams
Snooker’s all-round nice guy Mark reportedly owned a Ferrari in the early noughties.
But, he traded it in for an extremely rare Noble M12 GTO.
Sadly, though, the Welshman had a nasty accident in 2002 – crashing the car.
He said: “It was icy, I spun and ended up in the bushes.
“I don’t know if it will be a write-off, there is a possibility of damage to the underside of the car.”

Jimmy White
Not many can get away with a personalised reg.
Not many snooker players could get away with one that read ‘CUE 80Y’, which looks like ‘Cue Boy.’
Well, one man can. Jimmy ‘The Whirlwind’ White – one of snooker’s great characters.
He has owned a series of Bentley Continental GTs, clocking in at over £120,000.
However, in 2013 he was involved in an incident with the police when he claimed the brakes had been tampered with by crims who had targeted him.
Ali Carter
The Captain is known for having a pilot’s licence and regularly flies.
However, when he’s on the ground he keeps things simple with a Mercedes-Benz.
Although that’s not his dream car, as he once confessed.
“A Ferrari California, that’s what I’d like,” he told Regtransfers.co.uk.
“Although I’ll probably go for the new C63 next, the new coupe. I’ll have one of those but at some point I’m going to have a Ferrari California, I think.”

Ronnie O’Sullivan
One of snooker’s richest star, who is believed to be worth £14million, it’s no wonder O’Sullivan has an amazing array of cars.
Through the years, he has owned a £183,000 Ferrari 458, £131,000 Audi R8, and £130,000 Aston Martin DB9.
The latter he called a “bag of s***” after the door came off.
However, his favourite car is the Audi RS4 Avant.
He previously told The Sun: “I love that car. I really do. Pound for pound it is probably the best car I’ve ever had. I still get that thrill.”
