“Meet Denise Coates, Britain’s Richest Woman, Worth £9.5 Billion: See Inside Her Jaw-Dropping Mansion and How She Built Her Fortune”
Denise Coates, the billionaire co-founder of online betting site bet365, has unveiled her stunning £90 million mansion in Cheshire. With an estimated net worth of £9.5 billion, Coates has built her fortune in the gambling .
Coates started her career in the family betting business, Provincial Racing. She grew the company to 50 betting shops before launching bet365 in 2001. The online sports betting site quickly became one of the world’s largest, making Coates one of the highest-paid CEOs in Britain.
Coates’ new mansion boasts an impressive array of features, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, two helicopters, and a custom-built water slide for her children. The property also includes tennis courts, a boathouse, and beautifully landscaped gardens.
While Coates’ success is undoubtedly impressive, her mansion has faced criticism from some locals. One resident described the front of the property as looking like a “monstrosity” or the entrance to a supermarket. Others have expressed relief that the extensive construction work is finally complete.
To expand her estate, Coates has purchased surrounding homes and reportedly paid a neighboring farmer over £1 million to abandon plans for a canal-side marina. However, not everyone is willing to sell. Farmer Edward Colclough, whose property borders Coates’ planned estate, has refused to sell, saying he would never sell the land to her.
Despite the controversy, Coates’ mansion is a testament to her hard work and success. As one local resident noted, “Good on her.” With her luxurious home and thriving business, Denise Coates is undoubtedly one of Britain’s most impressive entrepreneurs.
