Bet365 founder Denise Coates and her family climbed four places on this year’s edition of the Sunday Times Rich List, while other gambling entrepreneurs also moved up the annual list.
The list ranks the 1,000 wealthiest people or families in the UK by net wealth. Denise, her father Peter and brother John placed 16th on the 2025 Sunday Times Rich List with £9.45 billion ($12.60 billion) in wealth.
This year’s ranking means the Coates family moved up four places from 20th in 2024. The Bet365 owners were also ranked 16th in both the 2022 and 2023 editions of the list.
Anthony Bamford, founder of construction machinery company JCB, narrowly beat the Coates family to 15th on the list.
