|
Calvin Ayre, the founder and CEO of Bodog.com, has been a cover boy before. He recently made an appearance on Card Player Magazine's cover, and now he's being recognized by Forbes, a magazine that keeps track of people who literally have more money than most African countries.
Ayre is now appearing on the cover of the current issue celebrating billionaires. Ayre made the list of 793 this year, and his lifestyle, roots, and success in the gambling industry put him on the cover.
"This feature article in Forbes is good for Bodog.com and good for our industry. Being open and transparent with the media sets a strong example for the online gaming industry, and serves as another tool to educate and inform our players about our company," Ayre says. "I would disagree with some details, including the characterizations of the legality of the industry, but overall it's a good yarn."
In the article, the billionaire philanthropist and industry leader talks about everything from his beginnings in Canada to his secrets and successes. The writer of the article spent two days with Ayre at his home in Costa Rica. The article marks the first time an online gaming CEO has been featured on the cover of the business publication.
