A property tycoon with a crash pad in Purley has become one of the UK’s first self made billionaires.
Xiuli Hawken, 48, is the highest self-made female entry in this year’s Sunday Times Rich List, thanks to her £1.06billion fortune.
The mum-of-one, who many would pass without giving a second glance, is now part of more than 100 women part of the country’s 1000 wealthiest people.
