Denise Coates, the CEO of Bet365, received a salary of £95 million and at least £55 million in dividends for the year ending March 2024, bringing her total earnings to £150 million. This comes despite a significant reduction from previous years, when her earnings reached £271 million in 2023 and a record-breaking £469 million in 2020.

Britain’s richest woman pocketed an estimated £150 million last year from her family’s gambling business, taking her earnings over the last seven years to more than £2 billion. Denise Coates , the boss of Bet365 , is believed to have received a salary of nearly £95 million from the firm for the year to March 2024, according to recently filed accounts.

She is also entitled to at least half of the £110 million in dividends paid out during the year, taking her total haul for the period to £150 million.

The latest payout came as Stoke-on-Trent-based Bet365 reported a profit of £596 million for 2024, a massive swing from the £73 million loss it delivered the previous year.

It is also well below the record-breaking £469 million she received in 2020 when people turned to online gambling to alleviate boredom while stuck in lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, sparking a boom in demand.
