Anurag Dikshit, co-founder of PartyGaming, has entered the U.K.’s list of the richest Asians. The 34-year-old began his successful journey in 1998 when he created the gambling software for PartyGaming’s casino and poker room, and his 32 percent stake in the publicly traded company makes him one of the youngest billionaires in the world with a fortune estimated around $3 billion.

Dikshit made his debut at the number three spot on the Asian Rich List, which is headed by Lakshmi Mittal, the London-based steel baron with a fortune estimated at $26.5 billion.

PartyGaming’s marketing director, Vikrant Bhargava, also made the list. Bhargava came in a few spots behind Dikshit at number 7 with over $1 billion in wealth.
