Some of the leaders of online gambling and poker in the United Kingdom are some of Britain’s richest people, according to a recent report at igamingbusiness.com.
The Sunday Times’ 20th annual survey of Britain’s richest individuals has revealed that the leading figures in the UK’s gaming industry are now worth almost ten billion dollars.
The highest ranked individual in the industry is 52-year-old Michael Spencer at number 62 on the ‘rich list’. Alongside personal holdings, his stakes in inter-dealer broker Icap and spreadbetting firm City Index have pushed his wealth to an estimated $2.27 billion from last year’s position of 88th with $1.59 billion.
PartyGaming co-founder Anurag Dikshit was 94th on the list, while another co-founder, Russell Deleon and wife Ruth Parasol, were 97th.
The survey, done each year by London’s The Sunday Times, includes anyone born or based in Britain.
