Denise Coates pays herself less than the £466m she collected in 2020 despite soaring profits

Britain’s highest-paid woman, the Bet365 billionaire Denise Coates, has given herself a 45% pay cut, receiving £150m in salary and dividends last year despite soaring profits at the online gambling company.

The Stoke-based business reported an increase in turnover from £3.4bn to £3.7bn last year, while also cutting costs and benefiting from a one-off gain on the value of its investments.
