” An affair could cost him $60 billion. That’s where his point of vulnerability was.”
Hold on. I haven’t been following the Gates breakup closely, but hasn’t it been alleged that he was playing around for pretty much his entire marriage to Melinda? Like he never stopped vacationing with Ann Winblad for the entire marriage? Granted, Melinda apparently tirec of his shtick and called it quits when the youngest kid turned 18, but his infidelity was apparently constant and never a secret.
Quite right. Gates’ mansion was on the shores of Lake Washington to the east of Seattle. Washington State is also a “community property” state with no-fault divorce law. He may (or may not) have lost 50% of his fortune to Melinda. She may have settled for less to avoid the embarrassment of Billy Boy’s dirty deeds in association with Epstein. I doubt anyone will rat him out. He’s the money train for so many.
If he hadn’t written a BASIC interpreter at the right point in time, Bill Gates would be a penniless incel today.
Good point.
It’s how foundations work. There are no regulations as to whom the Foundations must give the money to, as long as they gave the legally required 5%. So, if they give the money to another foundation, they met the legal requirements.
Do you really think that Bill Gates, who wants to eliminate billions of people, is really interested in doing societal good?

I know there’s a tax deduction for giving to foundations.
You said that the foundations then give money to Gates. Do you have a link for that?
Good to know she has a steady job. Has anyone asked Bill about any of this?
He donated the money to his foundation and then used it make investments in Big Pharma to do what he wanted. Read Bob Kennedy’s book on this.
I said Foundation give to each other, to avoid paying taxes. That means that that Bill Gates gives to them and they give to Bill Gates. It’s a circle jerk.
Why do you think every billionaire, while wanting to eliminate the world’s population, wants charitable foundations?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
That has been obvious.
Billionaire philanthropic funds are just a tax shelter for billionaires. As long as they give away 5%/year, they don’t pay taxes. So, they give to each other and not to the world.
Everybody is in on it.
Yes.
You said the foundations give money to Gates personally. That’s idiotic/psychotic.
I said all the billionaire foundations send money to each other and take the deduction. Very little of the $45 billion that Bill Gates has supposedly spent on real charitable purposes actually made it outside the foundation circuit.
As for being a fool, I think that would apply to anybody who believes the reporting that Bill Gates actually spent $45 billion on charitable purposes, when he wants billions of people to be killed
I bet you believe the media about the Russian/Ukraine war as well.
Melinda is the fourth richest woman in the world. Worth 47 billion.
Okay, but Melinda was allegedly aware that Bill was having sex with women other than her throughout their entire marriage. So, how would “bridge girl” be blackmail material when Melinda was already aware that Bill was a serial adulterer?
Basically, there are two possible explanations for this apparent paradox:
1. Jeff Epstein was unaware that Melinda already knew Bill was a cheater.
-or-
2. There’s more to this blackmail attempt than meets the eye (e.g., Epstein had evidence of Bill being into some other stuff either illegal or far pervier than a mere affair with “bridge girl”).
I have some pennies to rub together — a few, anyway. Maybe I should start a foundation.
