Assets include £1.6million cash in the bank.
Her eye-watering dividend pay out and bills, including £228,000 in tax, left her with a cool £1.4million.

Scott’s pay puts her level with telly rival Laura Woods, 38.
Last year, we reported Woods is making £820,000 a year on TNT Sports.
Scott and girlfriend Jess Glynne, both 41, looked all loved up last week as they enjoyed sun-kissed beaches, kayaking and elephant spotting in Thailand.
The former Arsenal star and singer have been in a relationship since the summer of 2023.
Scott banked a further £100,000 to appear on this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! but had to leave due to a family emergency.
The football pundit later revealed Glynne’s mother suffered a stroke – which saw her almost pull out of the show entirely.
Afterwards, Scott told The Sun: “It’s been a tough time for us and obviously her family, and it was a tough decision to come into the jungle.
“But Jess never wanted me to step away from not doing it.
“I knew there was always a possibility of her not being across the bridge if her mum hadn’t got better, or if things had been getting worse, which they have been.
“But it was a big decision for me to not pass up this opportunity and Jess pushed me to be here.”
She added: “Jess was the one that wanted me to do this, so that’s why I wanted to go in and make her proud.
“This is the longest time I’ve not spoken to her.
“I found it really tough in the jungle not being able to speak to her every day, and to just check in and see what’s going on and how she’s doing.
The first thought when I didn’t see her on the bridge was that I needed to FaceTime her and speak to her.
“It was emotional.”
