The former math teacher is divorcing Britain’s wealthiest female entrepreneur.

Former maths teacher Tony Hawken, 57, is splitting from Xiu Li, 51, because he says he is fed up with being wealthy.

The couple were catapulted into the world of the super-rich after Li’s idea of building shopping centres in disused Chinese air-raid shelters earned her an estimated £1.1billion by 2011 and placed her on The Sunday Times Rich List.

They traded modest semi in South Norwood for £1.5million home in Surrey

Mr Hawken doesn’t like being rich and ‘isn’t in the habit’ of spending

After the split he will get £1million, but says it is enough for him.
