Divorcée Melinda Gates touched down in New York City dressed to impress.
Billionaire Bill Gates’ ex-wife was spotted arriving at the Big Apple via helicopter on Sunday wearing all designer-label duds.
The price tag for the casual but chic outfit? Close to $5,000.
First up: A light pink Givenchy cardigan sweater that retails for $1,790.
Melinda also appeared to be wearing Givenchy low-top sneakers that cost $495 and carrying a black Balenciaga tote bag that retails for $1,290.
The 57-year-old finished the ensemble with a pink animal-print face mask.
Melinda finalized her divorce from Bill — the fourth-richest person in the world — two months ago after 27 years of marriage.

Yeah. They catch those cues in no time. It reinforces their cliquish nature, the feeling that we are so special.

I am very sure Cankles has spent more, and looked tackier.
that’s what i wear to go to the dumpster.
The next thing is for her to pick up a hard core young rapper new bf.
It’d be fun to see some of Bill’s billions go to some crazy BLM activist.
Exactly. Pointless gossip.
True. I've even seen Big Mike look better. :-)
“Why is this a news story?”
I agree. It is a given most multimillionaires and billionaires spend significant amounts on clothing, whether or not it is in good taste. Nancy Pelosi, Betsy DeVoss, Carly Fiorina, Melania Trump and Hillary Clinton all wear expensive designer clothing. No doubt Jill Biden does as well. The fact Melinda Gates is wearing a $5000 outfit, no matter what it looks like, is meaningless. Relative to her total wealth, $5000 is less than pocket change.
Addressing the issue of hypocrisy and designer clothing, the best example is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. In almost every public appearance and photo she appears wearing a different designer outfit. The former barmaid, who had to steal the tips of her coworkers to make ends meet, becomes a Congresswoman and suddenly has enough money to own multiple designer outfits. Cortez is the self declared spokesperson for the little people, the victims of capitalism. The entire clothing wardrobe of the average person she claims to represent likely doesn’t approach the cost of one of AOC’s outfits. Yet the press sees no story in this hypocrisy.
The humble rich.
You gotta spend a lot of money to look bad these days.
Fortunately, she never actually made the money herself. Its Bill’s money.
THAT outfit is $5000??????????
*ROFLMAO*
‘I can look dumpy and untidy by spending $14.95 at Goodwill.’
LOL!
I can look chic by spending $14.95 at Goodwill, too.
Ridiculous! Wearing a mask outside or wearing a mask period. Stupid. She’s a very wealthy woman. Good for her.
Looks like Treasure Hut.
There use to be a silly brand clothing called “Mossimo” during the grunge era. The joke was you paid a fortune to look like a bum.
Imagine the secrets this woman knows after enabling that creep of a husband all those years.
The alternative was what she had for breakfast.
Melinda Gates has more money than some big city budgets. As long as she doesn't get tax incentives for her clothing, no biggie.
I’m surprised she’d wear a sweater the dog chewed a giant hole in.
That was my question too.
