Ronnie O’Sullivan has led a very different life to many of his snooker counterparts and now lives a luxury lifestyle in China. The 47-year-old is currently ranked world No 1 and cashes in on his stardom at exhibition matches across the globe.
O’Sullivan has previously spoken about falling out of love with snooker and took a year out of competition in 2012. Rumours of his retirement have been rife for years and O’Sullivan said that once he stops playing he won’t return.
He told the Times: “If I haven’t got a tournament, I never pick up a cue, so I know that I’ll never, ever go near a table again. It wouldn’t interest me.” The obsessive personality of O’Sullivan means the star could be about to turn his hand to racing car simulators after testing one out with a former F1 driver.
