The fact that Jimmy white is on this list having earned the same prize money totals 30 or 40 years ago, when there were like 6 tournaments a season and the money was way less, as the top players now is insane and shows how good he really was
Even so, he never won any world championship.
@@bartdereu even more impressive that he's on the list without THAT prize money then
@@ScizGraffiti that’s also true !
Greatest player to never become world champion.
Same for Steve Davis
It's too bad Paul died at such a young age. I think he would have been one of the greats. RIP man
Paul is powder!
Already is one of the greats
For sure Paul hunter would have been one of the top players, a great chap taken from the baize too early
Ronnie has made more money outside of snooker because of his amazing popularity. Most of the top players are probably doubling there earnings through sponsorships and other snooker related activities. Good luck to them!
I love watching Ronnie play!!!
Ding Jung Yui, is the richest of them all. China makes him rich with sponsors.
You know the game
Will be Zhao xintong in the near future
You maybe right.
Ronnie has earned 25% more and Averages 25% more in Annual earnings. That shows roughly how much better He is in my opinion. If only Barry Hearne took over sooner, the Eightees Era would've made way more money.
25% more than what?
@@adrianwright8685, than other players, dumb ass.
In today's Money Hendry has won a way more. Plus because Hendry was so utterly dominant, he earned considerably more in sponsorship. In reality, prizemoney was better 30 years ago. It has not risen much, though everything else has.

Didn't see rank 1 lol but i am sure it is Ronnie O'Sullivan ❤😍🔥👍
I waited 5 minutes just to see ronnie 💚
Ronnie often visits a snooker club where I lived nearby the stow Harlow Essex if you want to chat with him
@@brianchilds8244 u must be joking🥺
surprized to see that Hendry was no.3 in prize money as would have thought he would be no.2 and Higgins no.3 But no surprize that the Rocket would be no.1 as he would be no.1 for almost everything.
Hendry retired years ago and only recently came back whereas Higgins has been there for the last 30 years and still a great player and the money is better now
Ronnie is to snooker what a Mitsubishi Pajero Full is to cars. a legend!

Interesting and great idea to include average per year. Would be perfect if you'd specified your source(s) 😉
Well well, that was important.
Bravo Ronnie!!!
I tell you if Ronnie was concerned about money only he would probably would have had at least 3 x much
Fair
I knew Ronnie,would get the No.1 spot before the video started.
Including last world title O'sullivan' total prize money is 12.600.000, with 420000 average per year

❤❤❤
i remember when snooker prize money was far more than darts now, the sky buzz has changed all that
Thought Ronnie would be up there!
Dear Ronnie Big Many
What is the music playing?
147 prize money was huge , don't know how many he made but a few im guessing , sure someone will say
I imagine there probably worth much more with promotions advertisements businesses there own brands of gear and equipment well earned in my eyes,
This is what always I used to think..
My God never knew there was soooooo much money in snooker
O'Sullivan must have made millions his records used to get to no 1 in pop charts ,Clare get down etc,he's done ok since the makeover ,I once asked him about appearing on top of the pops ,he went nuts said I saw nothing 😳
WTF you chatting about..
12 million. Wow.
Plus all the endorsements probably doubles that.
And also richest humble player and very much honoured about effort which makes them richest
Ronnie!!!!!
😵😵😵
Does this list include sponsors $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
What this song name?
Ронни Легенда!!!!!!!!
What happened to the China Professional players? Among them has more than 5 £ prize
I once won a bottle of vodka for a tournament win Maybe iam about the 100,001 richest
Confusion between prize money & welts… I think you are missing other sources of money that might be bigger than prize money (sponsorship, commercials,… may be investments). So the tittle is not the best I would say.
And still with all that calculated in.......Ronnie will still be way way way in front.
You are right. This is why Ding is the richest snooker player in the world. He has 7 or 8 club in Shanghai, which makes him about 10 millions in Chinese yuan every year, which is more than 1 million in British pounds. Sponsoship and commercials and other investments conbines have made him one of the richest professonal players among other sports. He probably worth of 500 millions in Yuan, and thats 70 millions in the british pounds.
么么哒😘😘😘😘😘
Ronnie says he's not bothered about money...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
because he has plenty
I won a club handicap once for £110.00 first prize will i get mentioned
Sad to see that the ten best snooker players in an anyway small group of what 128 professionals(?) earn in a year what an average football player earns in a month (of which you have 20times more).
Yep and snooker is such a hard sport, with small margins of error
@@StefanDLazarov and you need a lot of brain ...
I'm not sure that a huge influx of money is necessarily a good thing for sport. It ruined the Tour de France, particularly when the USAnian cheats were attracted by the money. I'm not in the slightest interested in football, but it seems to me that a major difference is that footballers have a much briefer period to cash in, as do cyclists. Snooker players can keep playing for many years. Not at their peak, but still pretty good. Fred Davis played into his sixties, and possibly after. I met him on the Pot Black tour in 1974, when he was already 61, along with Rex Williams and Sidney Lee who was the Pot Black referee.
Even lower division football matches attract 10,000's but snooker often has many empty seats in a few hundred.
What’s the point of APY?
It`s pretty naughty.
Where's Ding,Barry Hawkins,Stuart bingham on the list?..but Stephen Hendry suddenly showed up at no.3,he already retired long time ago..is this an accurate information?
What name background music pls???
Infraction - Echo
So much money in sport it's unreal. Should been a sportsman lol instead of surviving on a couple hundred a week 😡. Barry Hearn since he come in has taken snooker universal so many more tournaments now and so much more prize money your able to win. Never thought Higgins be second €9 million wow
Yes, is this video adjusted for inflation?
No, these are the real amounts they have recieved at times.
@@justsnookerinfo5240 Thanks for your reply , much appreciated, perhaps do an inflationary adjusted video?. the "value" of 5 quid in say the 1980's outstrips anything in modern times (and yes i appreciate some players spanned many years so difficult to work out an "inflationary" figure)
Don’t forget this list is just prize money. Which is actually not that much. Murphey average was just over 100k a year since he turned pro around 98/99. A very good plumber can destroy that total pocketing 3k a week. I do roofing and I do it on my own with a roof per week. Bigger roofs that you can stick 5k in your pocket normally take me 10 days. Keep that up for the amount of time Murphey has been pro and you blow his average out the water. These guys are earning way more than their average prize money in sponsorship deals and appearance charges.
How do swallow 300 thousand John?
Was higgins money including what he made on the side 😂
No this is just prize money. His “side” money would make an onions eyes water. He lives in a castle on the outskirts of Wishaw now.
Rocket Ronnie is the goat of snooker end of 👍
Not surprising that Ronnie is on top.
Mr Bean get no 1 spot lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stephen Lee should be No1.
Where's Jonny parrot???? 🐦
Judd Trump might be at the higher range. A little bit surprised me.
what about steve davies
Stephen hendry would have won far more prize money if they had hundreds of tournaments back in the days
Stephen hendry is the best of all time ,
with the number of tournaments won, for now.
To put their riches into perspective, Golfers have won more in a single tournament than these players have in a career. The prize money in snooker is sensible, in other sports absolutely potty.
Mmm I'm wondering what odds they'll be for Higgins winning a 5th WC this coming April With all his recent hurt with quite the few Final losses - I have this gut feeling telling me that if he manages to get through to the Final of the World Championship - he'll win - and comfortably. Regardless of the opponent. No true knowledgeable snooker fan would begrudge him at least one more. Mean he's teetering on the verge of his very best and pretty much has since he absolutely destroyed Ronnie in 2021 to win the players with the greatest snooker ever televised in history.
Any true knowledgeable snooker fan also knows he fixed matches for money,but unlike Stephen Lee,he got away with it,so does he really deserve another WC?.
@@paulfrench266 Mmmm 🤔 Certainly no point in commenting on something that didn't make any sense financially for someone already a multi millionaire. Lol why would he have given a toss about a free holiday home 🤷🏻. Imo he was set-up and was playing along with the game. But there's certainly nothing fixed about his best ever lived all round game.
@@stugtodd2778 why is there no point commenting on something that happened?,financial gain needed or not it still happened,its very relevant to a lot of snooker fans,it certainly tarnished Higgins for me so there is every point,cheats dont deserve to be regarded as greats,although I do have struggles as Higgins is an unbelievable player,strongest match player on the circuit alongside Selby,a solid competitor,its a shame about his match fixing a real shame,but he did it,so I stand with it being a real point to mention it,stop burying your head In the sand and acknowledge at one point he did the dirty,so does he deserve another WC,?,or does Stephen Lee deserve to play again?
Dont fancy higgins at all..11-1 best price he is..i reckon trump..im on at 4-1 + have small bet on allen at 33-1
I'm just sad Stephen Lee got banned for so long, he defo had a chance of being World Champ. There is no question of it. He would have won way more ranking events. The cue action of that chap is probs one of the best the game has ever seen.
World Ranking is based on per 2 year earnings n tour tournament based on per yearly season earnings NOT whole career!! See some stupig comment kip asking y their fav player not No.1....
Don’t forget the sponsors not. They have made more whit sponsoring
Where's the cars,,!!!???
No chance Higgins makes more than that a year throwing some frames
My man Ronnie O'Sullivan👍👍👍👍
But I think ateast 40% of their income they need to invest back themself = travelling, hotels, snooker teachers etc....
Those on the list get so much money from sponsors that I don’t think they have to spend anymore.If so, the accountant will obviously bring it back from the tax as an expense.😉
How to make a 20s text list into a 5min video.. Sucky music included..
Not a very clever vid. The values for Davis, Hendry and White should have been adjusted to bring them up to current values. Prize money has increased and this effect should have been taken into account. Next point these values don't reflect additional earnings from media platforms, books, naming on equipment, guest appearances etc etc. These additional earnings would be a true reflection of the titled misnomer "Richest Snooker Players". Finally you don't spell until with two Ls.
That's why the title is "Richest snooker players in the world by prize money". Maybe you should make a video that includes sponsorships and paid promotion etc. and that takes into account inflation rates that reflect the "true value" of the prize money earned. You'd still come to the conclusion that Ronnie is the greatest snooker player to ever exist, so maybe don't be a smart arse your whole life, if you don't like the video that much to complain about it maybe you should make your own. Perhaps I'll watch it and complain about it for no reason
@@makethat4coffins856 Firstly you just lost the argument by insulting me personally. Poor response to a valid comment. Secondly you seem to have missed it. The headline title on the vid screen was and still is "The Richest -- etc- 2022, but the secondary title below the screen was "The richest Snooker players untill 2022". Note the mis-spelling of the word "untill". This title has now been changed to what you read now. Secondly, if Hendry's winnings were brought up to date and inline with Sullivan's then you would see that Sullivan drops to number 2. I've also done the maths and used current prize money levels earned by Hendry up to date by titles won. Thirdly and finally, Sullivan can be regarded as today's greatest but the most natural and intuitive was Higgins, and if you also take into account that balls, tables and cloths have improved so dramatically over the last 40 years then the case that Sullivan would then drop back into second place can also be made on this count as well. You probably don't remember Higgins as you are probably too young, but I can hear you shouting from the audience "come on Ronnie" in tribal battle chant at every game where your hero plays. Every decade or so a new "greatest player" arrives on the scene. The next one will be from China and will eclipse both Higgins and Sullivan. Don't bother to reply and slag me off with more insults as your mail will go straight into me trash bin, unread, where it is deserved.
It's 'O'Sullivan' 😂 you're right mate I shouldn't even bother replying to that, Hendry himself has said the greatest player to ever grace the table is O'Sullivan, and John Higgins is still playing snooker, so I'd have to have not been born yet to not know who he is.. I'm just trying to stand up for the guy whose video you've just shat all over 😂
@@makethat4coffins856 I intended not to open your reply up but hey ho curiosity got the better of me. My apologies I shouldn't have been so spikey. I'm old enough to have now seen all the best players over the last 50 years and to have met a good many of them. I count Selby and Selt as friends - both nice guys., although Murphy is probably the nicest and most genuine of all of today's players. Naturally Hendry will applaud Sullivan, as being the greatest as being a modest man in his own right he would not say "I'm the greatest". But if you take all the championship wins at today's prize money Hendry is ahead of Sullivan. I still maintain that Alex Higgins (not John) was the most gifted and intuitive. He just had a problem with vodka and his head not being wired together properly. Anyway enjoy the game and enjoy life.
@@johnswarbrick2365 I apologise also, I should not have insulted you, the heat of discussion can bring out the bad in people.. Awesome that you know some of the guys on the tour! We can debate who the best is, I think it will always be disputed, it's always difficult in any sport to pin down who the GOAT is. I'm not saying he's the best, but Mark Williams is by far my favourite player, he plays the game in a way no one ever has I think, incredibly creative, just a shame about the consistency sometimes.. Anyway, take care, no bad feelings 👍
Here is a truth : the total money a best ever snooker player makes by his whole career is just a normal NBA player’s one-year salary
Well while it's true that the NBA stars earn a lot more these don't reflect the true wealth of the snooker players who make a lot more through endorsements, advertising, exhibition games,punditry etc Also some of the older players salaries are from the 80s and 90s so these should be changed to what they'd be worth today. I know that the NBA players earn this way as well so your point still stands,I'm just pointing out that they are actually worth more than this video suggests
Fav soccer players earn more too.... But in comparison physical players use more bodily energy physique too so they retired more early....
@@jonieboy5490 football not soccer. Football is a sport where you actually kick the ball with your feet.
@@davidmellish3295 They play Snooker for a living. Never seen a footballer practizing with a pint...
Higgins earned nearly 10 million pounds and still agreed to frame fixing for 300k. Shows you what an absolute piece of garbage he really is. (Yes, I know it was a set up and he didn't throw the frames, but he was fully willing to). He really owes his life to Barry Hearn and his manager. If he hadn't gotten him off the charges an and if his manager hadn't taken in his sword for him, he'd have faced criminal charges, eventually.
Stev Davis is worth over 30m
