    Bet365 founder paid herself £265m in 2017

    Source: https://www.theguardian.com/business...e-265m-in-2017

    That's almost $1m a day. Not a bad income for the $3.65 founder

    If it was just some random CEO I'd think that pay rate was a bit mental. But personally I have trouble begrudging someone making anything they like from something they built themselves.

    I'd like to see how much she could/would pay herself if there was a minimum bet rule by law

    I was just reading about this earlier. Although it's an insane amount of money it's her company so more power to her. It'll be interesting to see if anything results from those politicians getting angry about it.

    It's her company and her money (I mean our money)...she can do whatever she wants. Besides life in the UK is getting more and more expensive (so I've heard), so she'll definitely need some extra cash to make a decent living
