The Belgian, who won £500,000 thanks to his Crucible run in 2023, drained his bank account by buying a Ferrari, a Range Rover and a Porsche.

He insisted that the reason behind the splurge was to put himself "under pressure" like at the start of his career.

He said: "I bought two more cars this week, so I went from a millionaire to a non-millionaire.

"It was a conscious decision to buy the cars and maybe feel that bit of pressure again, to recreate the feeling I had of just starting my career."

Brecel has also slimmed down, having lost a stone due to his training regime.

He said: "I lost about a stone, so six-seven kilograms, in a month. I’m going to keep going now.

"Try to lose a bit more. Maybe ten more kilograms.

"It’s all about less eating. Counting my calories. A bit of exercise here and there."

Inside Luca Brecel's mad year since winning £500k

By Rob Maul

IF YOU became a world champion of your sport and pocketed £500,000 prize money, how exactly would you celebrate?

Maybe buy a nice car. Treat the missus. Go on a lavish holiday perhaps.

Well, Luca Brecel has done all of that and more – put simply, he’s had the time of his life over these past 12 months.

The Belgian Bullet was crowned King of Sheffield in May 2023 in remarkable fashion, despite no practice and having never won a match at the venue on previous visits.

Brecel immediately splash £250,000, half of his World Champs earnings, on a stunning red Ferrari 488 – which he admits he NEVER drives.

He has since lived the high life, exploring the globe with his girlfriend Laura, piling on the pounds with some fine dining and hangout out with an Arsenal star.

He even lost his Crucible-winning cue.
