Bet365 manager Denise Coates took home about ₤ 300m during its last monetary year - ₤ 170m down on the previous year - as development stalled.
The billionaire creator of the online gambling firm received ₤ 250m in salary and a share of the company's pay-out of ₤ 97.5 m in dividends.
Ms Coates, one of Britain's wealthiest women and a significant benefactor, has actually gotten an overall of about ₤ 1.3 bn from business in the past five years.
Bet365 was developed 21 years ago.
Ms Coates and her bro John took control of a betting store business run by their daddy, finding that online betting could change the industry. She now owns about half of the business.
Bet365's latest accounts filed at Companies House reveal profits were broadly flat at ₤ 2.82 bn in the first year of the pandemic, compared to ₤ 2.81 bn in the previous year.
Although not named in the accounts, Ms Coates has actually always been considered as the person referred to as "greatest paid director". She is believed to be Britain's biggest specific tax payer.
It's uncertain why the pay fell so much, although Bet365's revenues from sports wagering was hit as the pandemic caused chaos to sporting schedules. A rise in betting through online fruit machine and gambling establishments assisted balance out the loss.
Bet365 stated: "At the start of the period we experienced the almost total cessation of sporting occasions. However by the end of the first half of the year, we saw the resumption of sports with the vast majority of European football leagues handling to conclude their domestic seasons."
Meanwhile, operating earnings increased by 47% year-on-year to ₤ 285.
