Canadian-Chinese Yuan Liping, 49, became a multi-billionaire after recently ending her marriage with 56-year-old magnate Du Weimin, who is dubbed the 'vaccine emperor' of China. Mr Du, who was worth £5.3billion, gave nearly half of his stocks from his vaccine manufacturer to his ex-wife, instantly making her one of the richest women in China. Mr Du owned 51.26 per cent of the company's shares before passing 23.99 per cent of the firm's total to his ex-wife, according to China's Securities Times. His fate changed when he quit his job at the state-run health station to become a vaccine salesman in the 1990s. Mr Bezos, the world's richest man, and his wife MacKenzie agreed upon their divorce in April 2019.
