Snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, has found himself at the center of controversy after announcing a new business venture. While O’Sullivan has long been a fan favorite for his incredible talent on the table, his latest move has sparked a wave of backlash, with some fans accusing him of “selling his soul.”
The six-time world champion recently revealed plans to invest in a series of luxury business ventures, including a high-end snooker equipment brand, premium snooker training camps, and partnerships with non-snooker-related brands. While some see this as a natural progression for a sports star looking to diversify his income and future-proof his career, others believe that O’Sullivan is turning his back on the essence of snooker.
Ronnie O’Sullivan’s business announcement came during a press conference where he detailed his new focus on expanding his brand beyond snooker. The venture includes launching a premium snooker cue and accessories line, and entering partnerships with wellness brands, fitness chains, and even the tech sector.
While O’Sullivan is not the first athlete to branch out into business, the scope and scale of his plans have taken many by surprise. Known for his candid attitude and often rebellious nature, O’Sullivan has always marched to the beat of his own drum. However, the aggressive move into high-end business ventures has caused a rift within his loyal fanbase.
