Melinda French Gates announced on Monday that she is leaving the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation next month.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Melinda, his ex-wife, had tried to continue working together on projects at foundation, one of the largest private philanthropies in the world, following their 2021 divorce.

“After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to resign from my role as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. My last day of work at the foundation will be June 7,” French Gates wrote on X on Monday. “This is not a decision I came to lightly."

Gates said that she has $12.5 billion to spend on other projects.

"Under the terms of my agreement with Bill, in leaving the foundation. I will have an additional $12.5 billion to commit to my work on behalf of women and families. I'll be sharing more about what that will look like in the near future," she said.

Yeah, rich marxist girl, go find a different way to screw up millions of lives with all that money you’re too clueless to have possibly earned yourself.

Hey Melinda, do you want a lasting, positive legacy, not just with women and families, but with at least 50% of the world's population, including men, women, and children?

Take about $1B of your money and fund a software development effort to revert Windows 11 to be like Windows 7.

Leave the security and performance improvements. But take the user interface and look/feel of the system back to when it was good.

You will be an eternal hero.

No, I'm not kidding.

Probably. I find it interesting if Bill Gates is not in favor of the foundation supporting that. Or maybe he thinks it's the responsibility of Planned Parenthood.
