Husband determined to divorce because wife is too rich, can never spend all the money

In 2014, Dai Xiuli, the richest woman in Heilongjiang (China) with assets of 9.5 billion Yuan, was shocked when her husband filed for divorce. What was special was that the husband only asked for a small portion of the assets.

Desire to be rich

Dai Xiuli (born in 1963) in Harbin, Heilongjiang, in an ordinary family, both parents were workers. At that time, many people just wanted to have food and clothes, but she always wanted to become rich. She studied hard, wanting to change her destiny with knowledge, according to Toutiao .

From elementary school to high school, she was never out of the top 5 in her class. She easily got into the Chinese Literature Department of Heilongjiang University. When she was in college, she worked even harder. While the people around her were busy with love and marriage, she only cared about studying.

Dai Xiuli had ambitions to become rich since childhood.

After graduating, she was assigned to work at the Harbin Daily News. This job was the envy of many, but she was frustrated because she saw no opportunity for advancement.

In the 1980s, Dai Xiuli went to Guangdong alone to work as a reporter. Reality hit her like a bucket of cold water. She was forced to adapt to the different living environment and spent a lot of time to supplement her knowledge of economics and finance.

She was gradually exhausted by her busy life. All she could think about was trying to do well in her current job.

Love appears

Dai Xiuli carefully prepared each article and was highly appreciated by the leaders. She gradually gained a position in the editorial office, but soon after, she became dissatisfied with the salary she received.

At the same time, the wave of studying abroad exploded, so she decided to quit her job and go to England to study on her own. In 1991, Dai Xiuli arrived in England and realized that she had very little savings. She was very studious, which attracted the attention of math teacher Tony Hawken.

Tony Hawken comes from an aristocratic family, his speech and behavior are very elegant. At first he did not like her "bold and straightforward" personality, but after knowing her background, he found her cheerful, generous, and not fake at all.

The two soon fell in love and got married not long after. After their marriage, Dai Xiuli became a citizen and changed her name to Xiuli Hawken. The two loved each other so much that they had no intention of having children, so that they could spend more time together.

In 1992, Dai Xiuli's younger brother called to say that the country was opening up and needed talent, and that it was a good time to start a business. She was excited about it and wanted to return to China. Tony Hawken, not wanting to be away from his wife, followed her back.

Business talent revealed

Three provinces in northeastern China were once battlefields. To survive, people built shelters. These shelters were later abandoned. Dai Xiuli considered them treasures. Together with her younger brother, she renovated them and rented them out at low prices.

She opened a new business trend. That is the underground shopping mall model.

She has talent in business.

The rent for ordinary stores was too high for ordinary people to afford, and there weren't many suitable stores. At this time, Dai Xiuli's underground shopping mall had become a "hot" commodity.

Her development method not only helps the company significantly reduce costs and environmental damage, but also thoroughly solves social problems, thereby achieving profitable growth and sustainable development. Thanks to that, she earns a lot of money.

By 2007, Dai Xiuli had built many underground shopping malls in cities like Beijing and Guangdong. The rent in some places was up to 2,000 yuan/m2 (about 7 million VND). Despite the high price, there were always people who wanted to put down a deposit.

Dai Xiuli's name is well-known throughout the country. In 2011, she became the richest person in Heilongjiang Province, with a net worth of about 9.5 billion yuan. She is respectfully called the "underground queen" by business leaders.

However, as she grew richer, her husband filed for divorce.

Take only a small portion

Since returning to China, Dai Xiuli has been busy starting a business and has no time for her husband.

At first, Hawken could sympathize, but as his wife's career reached its peak, she was still busy with many things. He did not understand why she could not stop and enjoy life.

Husband determined to divorce because wife is too rich

The couple argued about this issue many times, but her solution was always to take her husband to social parties. This made him hate her even more. He was born into a noble family and was used to flattery at parties like this.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Hawken chose to return to England, occasionally traveling to China to reunite with his wife during the holidays. During this time, Dai Xiuli unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

To please her husband, Dai Xiuli even spent £1.5 million to buy a villa that matched her husband's taste. She also replaced the classic car he had used for many years with many luxury cars such as Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

But his wife's "temptation" with money made Hawken hate her even more. He stayed with his wife only for the sake of their children.

In 2014, Dai Xiuli was listed as one of the richest women in China with a net worth of 9.5 billion yuan. However, Hawken insisted on divorce. He only asked for 1 million pounds (about 10 million yuan), a small amount compared to Dai Xiuli's huge fortune.

No matter how hard Dai Xiuli tried, Hawken still refused to accept. Their marriage lasted 21 years, but ended in heartbreak. The news of Dai Xiuli's divorce caused a stir in public opinion, causing many people to wonder about the couple's reason for divorce.

Hawken later explained in an interview with the Times that there were two main reasons for the divorce.

First, he had no sense of his presence or accomplishments in his wife’s business world , so he couldn’t be proud of her. Second, he was tired of feeling like “never running out of money.” This was not the life he wanted.

His ideal life is always simple and warm, which is completely opposite to Dai Xiuli.

After the divorce, Dai Xiuli handed over the management of the company to her younger brother and began traveling around the country, enjoying a peaceful life that she had never thought of before.
