Find out the fictional salary of the richest woman in Britain

The founder and CEO of betting company Bet365 Group, 54-year-old Dennis Coates, was paid about 300 million pounds ($400 million) in annual salary and share of profits for the previous year in March 2021, according to a company disclosure on the London Stock Exchange. Her salary is $1 billion for the past two years.

Sources told Bloomberg that Coates' salary of 249.6 million pounds makes it the most expensive among CEOs around the world, although it is down nearly 40% from the previous year, when she received 469 million pounds.

Coates is the UK's richest woman after she consolidated her stake in the company to become a majority stakeholder in Bet365 after ramping up her purchases of shares last year that were owned by her father, Peter Coates.

Coates graduated from Sheffield University with a degree in econometrics, trained to become an accountant, and then took charge of a small chain of betting shops owned by her father.

She became the company's director at the age of 22 and increased the number of stores before deciding to switch business to online betting.
