Luca Brecel is a 28-year-old Belgian professional who has just won the world snooker championship and is ranked fourth in the world. The recent title has helped Luca Brecel earn more than 630 thousand USD (equivalent to about 15 billion VND). According to the Express newspaper, the amount of money that the athlete born in 1995 has earned in his career is up to nearly 6 million USD.
Like many other wealthy athletes, Luca Brecel spends a lot of money on "super cars". However, the Belgian player buys expensive cars not because he loves them or to show off his lavish lifestyle. The 28-year-old star does so simply to spend all his money.

"I just bought two cars and I'm no longer a millionaire," The Sun quoted Luca Brecel as saying, just weeks after he earned 15 billion VND thanks to his world championship. Not long before, this player also withdrew all the money in his account to buy 3 cars, Ferrari, Range Rover and Porsche.
For the reigning snooker world champion, spending money on a car is a way for him to maintain his motivation to compete. This idea may seem strange but it is not without reason. In fact, Luca Brecel is not in dire straits as he still has a luxurious house and a luxury car. However, because he spent all his money on the car, this athlete born in 1995 is not distracted by other extravagant pleasures such as partying and having fun.
"Buying these supercars was a wise decision. I can feel the pressure coming back to me, recreating the desire I had when I first started my career," Luca Brecel explained.
The Belgian proudly boasted about spending half of his prize money – around $300,000 – on the latest addition to his collection. The sum is equivalent to the prize money Luca Brecel will receive for winning his next tournament. The reigning world champion has set that as his target.
"I didn't become lazy. However, I found myself no longer having the desire, the motivation to compete from tournament to tournament like before.
I didn't like the feeling and decided to change. I realized I didn't feel the pressure anymore. I just competed and if I lost, I went home happy. That was not the right mindset ," Luca Brecel recalled the moment he started to carry out his plan to "burn money" to buy a supercar.
Luca Brecel has completely given up his old spending habits. In the early years of his career, the player loved to play late at night and enjoy a lavish lifestyle. After winning a tournament, Luca Brecel could stop practicing for a few weeks to indulge in partying.
However, at the moment, the Belgian athlete realizes that he cannot stop striving. Despite having just won the world championship, Luca Brecel is still only ranked fourth in the global rankings. The highest position of the 1995-born player is only number 2.
"I'm still young. One day, I will be number one in the world. I believe I only have one more match, one more title to become number one in the world," Luca Brecel shared.
