		</div><p>The boss of gambling firm Bet365 has reportedly earned a pay packet worth £469 million in a single year.</p>
<p>Denise Coates, 53, is said to have earned a £421 million salary in a 12-month period, along with £48 million in dividends – thought to be one of the biggest packages in UK corporate history.</p>
<p>She founded the online gambling company in the early 2000s in Stoke-on-Trent after spotting the potential of internet betting to revolutionise the industry.</p>
<p>The company told the BBC the arrangements were “appropriate and fair”.</p>
<p>The salary is a significant hike on the basic wage of almost £277 million that she took home in the year ending March 2019, when she was comfortably the highest-paid boss in the country.</p>
<p>Ms Coates, Bet365’s joint chief executive, was the country’s largest taxpayer for the second year running, according to the last annual Sunday Times Tax List.</p>
<p>She and her family, who are worth £7.166 billion, had a tax liability of £573 million last year.</p>
<p>Ms Coates has previously used the company’s annual report to highlight her charity work.</p>
<p>In the year up to the end of March 2019 she donated £85 million from the business’s coffers to the Denise Coates Foundation, up from £75 million the year before.</p>
