Ronnie O'Sullivan waltzed into the quarter-final of the Chinese Grand Prix and could up his total net worth with a win.
The snooker legend is already worth a pretty penny and he could add to his pot by winning the Chinese Grand Prix this month.
The Rocket has dominated snooker over the years and has earned himself a huge wedge of cash in the process.
No one has won more ranking events than O'Sullivan, who trophy cabinet is bulging with a total of 41 victories.

That includes a record-equalling seven World Championship titles, currently level with Stephen Hendry, while Ronnie has already stated that he is desperate to pull clear.
His fantastic snooker career has seen him become one of the richest players ever, nearing a net worth of £20million.
And he could top that up even further if he goes all the way in Xi'an, and looks in fine fettle to do exactly that.
After thrashing Hossein Vafaei 5-0 in the last eight, O'Sullivan has cruised into the quarter-finals of the Chinese Grand Prix.
With a total pot of £850,000, the winner of the tournament takes home the biggest slice of the pie with £177,000.
There is also a £5,000 bonus for whoever lands the highest break.

And at the age of 47, the Rocket still has plenty in the tank though he has admitted that the young guns coming through might wear him down.
