Vikrant Bhargava founded PartyGaming with Anurag Dikshit and Ruth Parasol in 2000 but recently decided the time was right to pursue other interests, cashing in a large percentage of his shares, which started the recent decline in share price of the blue-chip stock.

Bhargava’s exit strategy appears to have been well-timed. The thirty-something marketing genius has now chosen another high rolling industry for his next venture – he will launch a new financial services firm next month in Gibraltar. The new project is a start-up company called Sirius, of which it is believed he will be a director. Bhargava’s new fund of funds will be aimed at investors will an appetite for higher risk and volatility, and it would be hard to bet against this man, who seems to turn everything he touches into gold.

If Bhargava’s latest roll of the dice doesn’t work out, he needn’t worry – he still has 7% of the largest online gaming company in the world and a probable great deal more, if speculation regarding the size of his personal fortune are correct.
