He is tied with Stephen Hendry for most World Championshps wins on seven.

O’Sullivan’s record-breaking trophy haul also includes eight Masters and eight UK championships.

However, The Rocket – worth over £14million – has hinted at retirement several times already this year.

He’s already admitted he wants to take up a role as a RUNNING coach when he puts down his cue.

But it seems O’Sullivan also plans on remaining involved in snooker.

That’s because the ace has opened his own academy in Saudi Arabia.

The facility will help develop the sport’s best talents from around the world.

And O’Sullivan is sure to keep an eagle-eye out for prodigies who could one day match his own achievements.
