Despite his sudden wealth he continued to buy books from charity shops, and shunned dear clothes.

　　In an interview with The Times, he said: ‘I think it made me uncomfortable because I’m not in the habit, I don’t like spending lots of money — I’ve been brought up that way.

　　‘Until recently I was never a wealthy person. I’ve been moderately comfortable because I have been careful with my money.’

　　Now the couple have decided to part, Mr Hawken will walk away with just £1million, but says it will be enough for him.

　　He added: ‘I have got a settlement which is not great, but it’s enough for me because I don’t have an extravagant lifestyle. I won’t have to work if I’m careful.’

　　On a recent trip to China, Mr Hawken said his wife took him on a yacht and treated him to a £900 bottle of wine, but he prefers his local Wetherspoon pub.

　　‘I’m getting a little pay when you consider her potential wealth, but I don’t really want to fight it.’

　　Mr Hawken met Li on a blind date while he was still a teacher and she was studying English.

　　The couple married, but as Li’s business took off the couple spent more and more time apart. Mr Hawken says the couple have spent most of the relationship apart.

　　Far from driving them apart, Mr Hawken believes the distance kept them together, and says they would have divorced a long time ago if they were under the same roof.
