B&M Bargains' billionaire chief executive has handed himself another massive payout of £30million due to soaring Christmas sales.
Retail magnate Simon Arora, 51, revealed a new special dividend of 20p-a-share would be handed out to shareholders.
Mr Arora and his family are the biggest shareholders in the business, meaning he will pay himself £30million just two months after funnelling £44million in dividends to his offshore family trust.
Budget retailer B&M will also share some of the profits with staff, and has agreed to pay 30,000 workers an extra week's wages.
The payouts come as the budget retailer saw a surge in sales during the second national lockdown and subsequent tier regime as the stores benefitted from their 'essential' retail status.
