Judd Trump, 34, is one of the favourites for the World Championship.

But away from the baize, he loves to live a lavish lifestyle – filled with dream holidays, amazing rides and designer outfits.
This is a man who once rocked a pair of £845 Christian Louboutin shoes during a match.
However, he insists he is anything but flashy.
Criticism
World Snooker boss Barry Hearn slammed Trump’s lifestyle in 2012 – urging him to choose snooker or the party life.
“Next year we’ll announce more events, so you’ve got to decide whether you’re part-time sportsman or part-time playboy,” he told the Independent.
“Part-time playboys lay in bed and go skiing.
“Professional sportsmen make money for their families and their future.”
Trump isn’t afraid of flaunting his wealth, and uses his Instagram to promote his life away from the sport.
He has reportedly amassed a fortune of around £9million.
But, he fought back against Hearn’s words – insisting he will live the life he wants.
“Barry Hearn has said there’s no time for playboys, but I’m not a playboy,” he told the Independent in response to Hearn’s threat.
“My Twitter account status used to say ‘part-time playboy’ on it, but I’ve taken that down now.”
Still, Trump leads the life of a sporting king – and he’s certainly having a good time.

Amazing trips and designer clothing
Although Trump gets to travel the world through snooker, he loves jetting off on five-star holidays.
His favourite place to visit appears to be Dubai. He has shared a number of trips to the UAE on social media.
And he made sure he ate well by stopping off at Salt Bae’s restaurant.
Trump also shared a picture with the celebrity chef, famous for his expensive steaks.
Trips to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Marrakech, Shanghai and New York also feature on the snooker star’s Instagram page.
If he’s not staying in a luxury hotel, he’s renting a state-of-the-art villa.
Warm weather retreats appear to be a necessity, and he happily poses in shorts – showing of his toned torso.
In every picture, Trump is also clad in designer wear.
His favourite designer appears to be Gucci, and he owns an array of their clothing, as well as Louis Vuitton.

Incredible motors
If Trump wins the £500,000 prize for the winner at the Crucible, he could splash his cash on a new motor.
He has been known to drive some of the world’s most amazing cars.
From BMW to Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce – Trump is a petrol head.
In 2012, he splashed out £100,000 on a Ferrari 430 Spider after wining his first ranking title, the UK Championship.
While he has also been seen behind the wheel of a £235,000 Lamborghini Huracan.
Most recently, Trump has favoured a BMW i8 worth £106,000

And he also posed with a Rolls-Royce Ghost – that super car starts at £270,000.
Shoes maketh the man
Stylish potter Trump also has a penchant for fine shoes.
During the Masters at Alexandra Palace in 2013, he sported a pair of Christian Louboutin Rollerboy Spikes that cost £845.
Cameras zoomed in on the spiky, unconventional footwear.
However, in his match-up against Barry Hawkins – by the third frame he had to slip into something else.
According to Trump, he had to change his shoes because he couldn’t get a grip on the floor.
“I probably need more prize money to keep me in shoes but I’ll have to get World Snooker to put in a new carpet as I was sliding all over it,” he admitted after.
It proved to be an inspired choice – as he fought back from 5-3 down to win 6-5.
You can bet, though, they went straight back on as soon as he left Ally Pally.
