Judd Trump has revealed what his next big purchase will be after officially producing the most lucrative season in snooker history.
It exceeds Ronnie O’Sullivan’s total of £1,266,300 set last season.
Trump, who is aiming for a third Masters crown, has already won the Shanghai Masters, Saudi Arabia Masters and UK Championship – and reached finals at the Xi’an Grand Prix and Northern Ireland Open.
“Don’t tell everyone here,” laughed Trump, when asked what it meant following his quarter-final win over Ding.
Speaking afterwards in the Eurosport studio, the world No. 1 joked that he wanted a “yacht next”.
The 2019 and 2023 champion could earn £350,000, a record for the 16-man invitational event, if he lifts the Paul Hunter Trophy on Sunday night before 2,200 fans in London.

-And yet Trump will be aiming even higher in the second half of the season with his 49th century made against Ding on Friday afternoon, leaving him on course to claim a £100,000 bonus for the first man to make 100 centuries across the 2024/25 campaign.
Indeed, the 2019 world champion could hit the £2 million mark for the campaign if he can land the lucrative £500,000 World Championship cheque in May.
The 30-time ranking event winner is also set to chase a third straight title at the World Open in Yushan next month, with a £175,000 first prize on the table if he can retain his crown.
Trump will begin his title defence against Xing Zihao on Sunday, February 23 at 11:30am GMT.
