Bet365 employer Denise Coates took home about ₤ 300m during its last financial year - ₤ 170m down on the previous year - as development stalled.
The billionaire founder of the online gaming firm got ₤ 250m in salary and a share of the company's pay-out of ₤ 97.5 m in dividends.
Ms Coates, one of Britain's most affluent females and a major philanthropist, has actually received a total of about ₤ 1.3 bn from the service in the past 5 years.
Bet365 was created 21 years earlier.
Ms Coates and her sibling John took over a betting store service run by their dad, finding that online gaming might change the industry. She now owns about half of the business.
Bet365's most current accounts filed at Companies House reveal profits were broadly flat at ₤ 2.82 bn in the first year of the pandemic, compared with ₤ 2.81 bn in the previous year.
Although not named in the accounts, Ms Coates has actually constantly been considered the individual referred to as "greatest paid director". She is thought to be Britain's most significant private tax payer.
It's uncertain why the pay fell so much, although Bet365's revenues from sports wagering was struck as the pandemic caused turmoil to sporting schedules. A rise in betting by means of online fruit machine and casinos helped offset the loss.
Bet365 stated: "At the start of the duration we experienced the nearly complete cessation of sporting events. However by the end of the first half of the year, we saw the resumption of sports with the huge bulk of European football leagues handling to conclude their domestic seasons."
Meanwhile, operating revenue increased by 47% year-on-year to ₤ 285.
