Bet365 manager Denise Coates took home about ₤ 300m throughout its last financial year - ₤ 170m down on the previous year - as development stalled.
The billionaire creator of the online gaming company got ₤ 250m in salary and a share of the business's pay-out of ₤ 97.5 m in dividends.
Ms Coates, one of Britain's most affluent women and a significant benefactor, has actually gotten an overall of about ₤ 1.3 bn from the organization in the previous 5 years.
Bet365 was created 21 years earlier.
Ms Coates and her brother John took control of a betting shop company run by their dad, finding that online gambling might revolutionise the market. She now owns about half of the company.
Bet365's most current accounts submitted at Companies House show earnings were broadly flat at ₤ 2.82 bn in the very first year of the pandemic, compared with ₤ 2.81 bn in the previous year.
Although not called in the accounts, Ms Coates has actually always been considered as the individual described as "highest paid director". She is believed to be Britain's biggest private tax payer.
It's unclear why the pay fell so much, although Bet365's revenues from sports betting was hit as the pandemic triggered chaos to sporting schedules. A rise in wagering by means of online fruit machine and gambling establishments helped balance out the loss.
Bet365 said: "At the start of the duration we experienced the practically total cessation of sporting events. However by the end of the first half of the year, we saw the resumption of sports with the huge majority of European football leagues managing to conclude their domestic seasons."
Meanwhile, operating profit increased by 47% year-on-year to ₤ 285.
