And the Carter’s have only 2 cups of tea... no tea for the Xidens.
Just a cringy photo all the way around.

Maybe the Carter’s are receiving the order that it’s “time” for some dog wagging event.

It could be their farewell photo.

Dead in 10 days?

Bill Gates spent long weekends at the beach alone with his venture capitalist ex-girlfriend Ann Winblad every year - and even sought her approval to marry Melinda - in a bizarre decades-long arrangement with his wife. The couple have had a decades-long agreement that Bill could vacation for a long weekend at the beach every year with his venture capitalist ex-girlfriend. Bill, 65, dated venture capitalist Ann Winblad, 70, in the 80s but broke up in 1987, the same year he met future wife Melinda.

In a 1997 piece in TIME Magazine, Bill said, ‘When I was off on my own thinking about marrying Melinda, I called Ann and asked for her approval’. The former lovers kept their vacation tradition alive, with Bill spending a weekend with Ann at her beach house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. She approved and the former lovers - with Melinda’s blessing - kept their yearly vacation alive, with Bill spending a long weekend with Ann at her beach house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The pair spend their getaway every spring riding dune buggies, hang-gliding and taking walks on the beach.

Bill and Melinda’s divorce will be the largest division of assets since Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie split in mid 2019. The Gates empire includes homes in five states; a fleet of cars; an art collection that includes a $30million book of writings and sketches by Leonardo Da Vinci; and a series of private jets. Ann is married to San Francisco private investigator Edward Alex Kline, 63. Kline is the younger brother of actor Kevin Kline.

It appears that Bill and Melinda have already done a lot of the work of dividing up their estate, as their divorce papers repeatedly refer to a ‘separation contract’ which both have signed. Gates is also the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States, with 242,000 acres across 18 different states.

Bill and Melinda have already pledged to give most of their fortune away before they die. Their three children will receive a reported $10 million each - a tiny fraction of their parents’ fortune. The Gates family owns a string of luxury mansions across the US, in Washington, Florida, California and Wyoming. Prime among them is their main family home in Washington, known as Xanadu 2.0. The 66,000-square-foot mansion overlooks Lake Washington in Medina, nine miles out of downtown Seattle - where The Gates Foundation has its headquarters.

They also own a $59 million ranch in Wellington, Florida - an area known for its equestrianism, which will appeal to his eldest daughter Jennifer, a talented horsewoman. Wellington, described by The Real Deal as the winter equestrian capital of the world, is the seasonal playground for the families of a number of billionaires – Michael Bloomberg, the late Steve Jobs, the Campbell’s Soup family, and celebrities whose children compete in horse riding competitions.

The 65-year-old’s largest holdings include 69,071 acres in Louisiana, 47,927 acres in Arkansas, 25,750 acres in Arizona, 20,588 acres in Nebraska and 16,097 in Washington state.

Art includes The Room of Flowers by Childe Hassam, for which Gates paid $20 million. Gates also owns William Merritt Chase’s The Nursery, worth $10 million.
