Fred Done
Fred Done is a British billionaire businessman, the co owner with his brother Peter Done of the bookmaking chain Betfred, which has more than 1,350 betting shops in the United Kingdom. In February 2015, it was announced Fred Done was in talks to sell a 25% stake in the Tote. In April 2015, The Sunday Times estimated the brothers' joint net worth at £1.0 billion. In June 2018, Done has made an investment in the online advertising platform based in Nottingham, Adzooma.
He and his brother own Health Assured, a business that has contracts from the NHS to treat people with gambling addiction. The two took £5.2m in dividends between 2016 and 2019 from Health Assured. Members of the UK Parliament have criticised the "cynical" arrangement whereby the brothers get money from both gambling and the addiction that ensues. This was in January 2020.
