Steve Davis had a successful snooker career after turning professional in 1978, and his success at the table assured a substantial bank balance from the sport. The six-time world champion is worth an estimated £30 million, according to many sources, and that figure is expected to rise if he stays with the BBC.
It’s worth remembering that the snooker prize money awarded during Davis’ peak years paled in comparison to the sums offered to event winners in 2021. Despite hanging up his cue in 2016, Davis put that money to good use and has managed to provide a nice life for his family. Davis, who no longer competes professionally, is still a major figure in the sport, and his position as one of the top BBC snooker pundits appears to be secure.
Steve Davis is without a doubt one of the best snooker players of all time. Does he, however, beat Ronnie O’Sullivan and Stephen Hendry to the top spot? That’s a discussion for another day… Davis has amassed a sizable fortune from his snooker accomplishments, especially after dominating the World Snooker rankings for seven consecutive years.
When it comes to Steve Davis’ career prize money totals, there is some inconsistency, which is common when discussing the finances of great athletes. Davis’ career earnings are listed on a few sources as £11 million, although World Snooker’s official press release after his retirement lists his total prize money as £5.5 million.
