The self-styled 'Gypsy King' added another £29.8m to his fortune in 2023. The firm was worth £52.3m the previous year.
The company holds £186m in cash and assets but has debts to pay totalling £28m for the 12 months to the end of September last year.
And the books also show he helped himself to a dividend of just £100,000 from his monster reserves – a pay cut of £50,000 from 2023.
The Morecambe man stepped up his career at the start of the decade by twice beating Deontay Wilder in world title fights, having drawn with the explosive American in their thrilling first fight back in 2018.

Katie Boulter ready to bring battle spirit after Badosa Wimbledon win
'It's going to be an absolute battle,' she said. 'I'm certainly not looking towards round three, round four. 'I'm looking at getting my body ready, enjoying the good moments, moving on and getting myself ready for a second round. 'I'm not necessarily going to look into the future. I think you can easily get caught up just after a good win.' Boulter knows the potential pitfalls too well, as she crashed out in the second round last year following an error-strewn performance against compatriot Harriet Dart. Her performance against Badosa looked briefly to be heading the same way, as three double faults in one game gift wrapped the second set for the Spaniard. But Boulter showed plenty of grit to rally in front the Centre Court crowd to earn the fourth victory over a top 10 player in her career. 'Centre Court at Wimbledon, as a Brit, against a top-10 player, for me doesn't get that much better,' she added. 'I feel like I've come into this slam the best possibly I could have been prepared. It's nice to see it actually pay off, because it could have easily switched that way. 'It is one of the reasons why I do play tennis, to win matches like that, and to have a go at the best in the world. I do feel like it is one of the best ones for sure in my career. 'I just decided to go for it in the big moment, and it came out the right way, so I'm happy. I took it to her. Actually I felt like I won the match rather than I relied on someone else's mistakes or something else. 'I feel like I went out, I committed to my game, I laid it on the line, I put my heart on the line, and I just went for it.' Boulter will hope her new more aggressive style can carry her into the unchartered waters of the second week at her home Slam. Victory over Sierra on Wednesday will set up a third round tie with either Cristina Bucsa or last year's semi-finalist Dona Vekic, with Australian Open Madison Keys potentially waiting further down the line. Claiming the scalp of a top seed gives Boulter a real shot of a deep run but she knows there is still lots of work to be done, even if she is ready to seize her chance. 'I'm going back to my process. I take every day at a time,' she added. 'I feel like I've been building for a while now, but I just haven't quite made it over the line. This is the first step of that. I'm very well aware there's a lot more steps to take before I can call it the best week of my career.'

Monday insistent on savouring Grand Slam singles debut despite loss
Johannus Monday insisted he will learn the lessons from his Wimbledon defeat to Tommy Paul, but not until he has taken time to savour his Grand Slam singles debut. Returning to SW19 for the first time since 2023, where he teamed up with Jacob Fearnley in doubles, the Hull native made his maiden bow as a solo act on Tuesday, as he took on the world Paul on No.3 Court. Despite his best efforts, he was defeated by the American 6-4 6-4 6-2 but while Monday admitted he was taught a lesson about what it takes to compete at the very top, he is determined to absorb as much as he can from their encounter. "It was very cool. It was always a dream of mine to play singles at Wimbledon on a big court," said Monday. "There are only 12 players better than Tommy Paul in the world right now so he's a pretty good player. "It was a very difficult match, and I felt the pressure going into it. Not an expectation to win but it's a different feeling walking onto that court. "You're playing for a lot on the line but it was a dream come true for me to walk onto a court like that. "I just tried to just really savour the moment and enjoy it as much as I can. "I had a chat with my coach after and said today's not the day to nitpick my game. We can do that the other 364 days of the year. "After I've let the dust settle, I'll look back at the match and watch for the things I can take away because there are a lot of things I can take away but that's to talk about in the coming days, not hours after the match. "What a cool experience this has been. It's a dream of mine come true and I want to savour that moment because it doesn't come around too often." Monday won't have to wait too long to recapture the dream, with the 23-year-old teaming up with David Stevenson as men's doubles wild cards and he revealed that he is raring for anther go at the lawns of SW19. "I'm never going to complain about playing more matches at Wimbledon, added Monday. "Whether it's singles, doubles, touch-tennis, sign me up I'll play every single match I can here.

Jodie Burrage ponders trip to see boyfriend play for the Lions after SW19 exit
The British wild card began the week with good news when Scotland scrum-half White was a late addition to the British and Irish Lions squad for their series against the Wallabies. But her joy turned to despair on Tuesday following a comprehensive 6-3 6-1 first-round loss to American Caty McNally on her SW19 comeback. The 26-year-old, who missed much of last season due to injury, revealed she rolled an ankle at the All England Club just three days before the start of the championship and was visibly upset during an emotional post-match press conference in which she branded her performance 'shocking'. As her attention turns to the hardcourt swing in the United States, Burrage is considering flying out to support long-term partner White. 'It's a conversation I'm going to have to have with my team,' said Burrage, who is still scheduled to play doubles in south west London this week. 'Maybe considering my ankle and stuff, I might be able to. Obviously Australia is a very easy place to find tennis courts and train, so that's one thing going for me. 'I've been playing so many tournaments. I've been going week after week after week, so I do need some time training. That was always the case anyway. So maybe that will be there.' Scotland scrum-half Ben White was a late addition to the British and Irish Lions squad (Zac Goodwin/PA) Toulon player White initially missed out on Lions selection before receiving a call from head coach Andy Farrell due to the injury withdrawal of Wales' Tomos Williams. The 27-year-old swiftly joined the squad in Brisbane, having been with the Scotland team in New Zealand – 11 hours ahead of Burrage in the UK. 'I was about to go to sleep, and he called me 10 minutes later and kind of was just looking at me down the phone, like with a grin on his face,' she said. 'I was, just, like, 'Oh, my God, what?' I was very, very happy for him to get that call. He'll do great. 'He's enjoying being with the Lions and it will be a very fun six weeks for him ahead.' Burrage, who would have faced five-time grand slam winner Iga Swiatek in round two, defeated McNally at Wimbledon two years ago. But hampered by the latest of a series of ankle problems, she was unable to repeat the feat on Court 18 and was eliminated by the world number 208 in an hour and four minutes. 'It's nowhere near 100 per cent,' she said of her ankle. 'My level today was shocking compared to how I've been playing the last few weeks. 'There's probably a few things going into that: wanting to do well this week at Wimbledon because I missed it last year, obviously what I just said about what happened on Friday (rolling her ankle), just everything. 'Sometimes you just have a bad day at the office, and sometimes your opponent has a very good one. 'I just wanted more from myself. I know the work that I've put in, and I felt like I deserved a better outcome than that.'
