Barry Hearn Sees Ronnie O'Sullivan’s £3.7m Reserve Rise
barry hearn has watched Ronnie O'Sullivan's business fortune keep climbing even after the snooker star was dumped out of the World Snooker Championship earlier this week. O'Sullivan's main company now holds £8.1 million in reserves, up from £5.4 million 12 months earlier.
That £3.7 million rise works out at about £71,000 a week. Across his three companies, his wealth is now about £12.2 million, a figure that sits well above the level many players ever build from prize money alone.
Ronnie O'Sullivan Snooker Ltd
Ronnie O'Sullivan Snooker Ltd is the main engine of the increase. It currently holds £3.4 million in cash reserves, adding another layer to a company balance sheet that has moved sharply higher over the past year.
The move from £5.4 million to £8.1 million in reserves is the clearest sign of how quickly the business side of O'Sullivan's career has expanded. Even with his championship exit, the company remains the biggest single contributor to his overall wealth.
RMOS Property Ltd Assets
The second strand is RMOS Property Ltd, which controls assets totalling £5 million. Of that, £4.6 million is tied up in investment properties, giving O'Sullivan a substantial property base alongside his snooker earnings.
That leaves his fortune spread across more than one channel. The portfolio is not built on one prize or one season; it includes property value and retained cash as well as operating reserves.
Damien Hirst And Ro Art Ltd
Ro Art Ltd adds a different edge to the picture. The company holds a collection valued at £1.9 million, with Damien Hirst managing bespoke pieces created for O'Sullivan through the venture.
Hirst has long been part of the backdrop to O'Sullivan's career. He has been credited with being O'Sullivan's wingman through his darkest moments, inspired his return to competition after he briefly stepped away from the sport in 2012, and created personal works for him and his two children, including a canvas depicting his record-breaking 147 maximum break.
For O'Sullivan, the message is plain: the tournament exit came first, but the financial story moved in the opposite direction. The business holdings are up, the cash is still there, and his off-table portfolio now stands at about £12.2 million.
