Paul Newey (born 6 September 1968) is an English businessman and semi-professional poker player from Dorset, England who co-founded Ocean Finance and later New Wave Ventures.

Career

In 1991, Newey co-founded Ocean Finance, a loan and mortgage business, in Staffordshire, United Kingdom. He sold the company in 2006 and left his CEO position in 2009. He later co-founded New Wave Ventures a privately owned investment fund located at Adam House in London.[1]

Newey has made the Birmingham Post rich list in 2013, 2015 and 2017 ranking 28th, 17th and 20th respectively.[2][3] At the end of 2017 his net worth was estimated at $335 million.[4]

Gambling

Newey is an avid gambler. On 4 January 2005 Newey nearly broke the bank at Birmingham's Genting Casino Star City where he won £3 million and forced owner Stanley Leisure to issue a profit warning. The casino value declined by 12% as a result of Newey's win.[2][5] Newey lost his winnings later that month.[6]

In 2014, Newey won four times at the $5,000-a-spin machines in Aria Casino located in Las Vegas for a total of $1.75 million.[7]

Poker

Newey began playing high stakes poker tournaments in 2012 after entering the $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop event at the World Series of Poker. Newey was eliminated without cashing on Day 2 by eventual champion Antonio Esfandiari.[8]

In 2014, Newey again entered the $1,000,000 One Drop event; this time, he finished 7th, earning $1,418,667.[9] Newey has had success in the poker world. As of 2018, Newey has cashed for over $4,800,000.[10]
