| Dikshit, a computer programmer, was recruited in 1998 by a Californian businesswoman, Ruth Parasol (qv), to write the software for a fledgling internet poker site. Party Gaming floated on the London stock market last year valued at £4.7 billion, making a fortune for Dikshit and his friend Vikrant Bhargava (qv), the marketing director. The company showed nearly £372m profit on £601m sales in 2004. Dikshit lives in Gibraltar, where Party Gaming is based. He sold nearly £490m worth of shares in the float and retains a stake in Party Gaming worth £1.214 billion. |
