Bill Gates, the fourth richest man in the world with a fortune of $124billion, and his wife Melinda are divorcing after 27 years of marriage.
The 65-year-old Microsoft founder and his 56-year-old wife announced the split on Twitter.
They both posted the same joint statement which read: 'After a great deal of thought and a lot of work, we have made the decision to end our marriage.
'Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives. We continue to share a belief in tat mission and will continue to work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives.
'We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.'
The couple have three kids; Jennifer, 25, Rory, 21, and Phoebe, 18.
It comes less than two weeks after they made their last public appearance, virtually, at a COVID event for healthcare workers.
Gates was already a billionaire when the pair got married in the early 1990s. He founded Microsoft in 1975 and became the world's youngest billionaire in 1987 at the age of 31. He also met Melinda that year.
They married six years later but he deliberated over it and, according to previous interviews given by Melinda, even made a list of pros and cons for marriage on a whiteboard.

“Maybe he’s getting ready to flee the US to go live in his underground bunker in New Zealand where all the billionaires have built bunkers so they can hide from the shit they created.”
About 3+ decades ago one of my cousins sold his share of a big national fast food franchise, as one of the founders.
He had 3 big time patents for breeding food critters.
So he had a boatload of money from the sale and future markets in the future.
Both NZ and Australia turned him down as a full time resident. He was told by both countries that they didn’t need billionaires retiring and not contributing.
they are both huge libtards
thats not the issue
My question is which of them is MORE crazy.
Both of them are NUTS.
What would Rush who was married 4 times possibly say?
That’s a man, baby...

prenups mean jack poop
“i didn’t understand what i was signing”
or
“i felt pressured to sign it”
and they are kicked out. they don’t protect men at all. thegynocentric court system only use them for womens advantages.
Youngest kid is 18.
far more than she would ever earn herself
far more than she deserves
Washington is a community property state.
Gates is behind Moderna, but it is possible he is also behind Pfizer.
Or was it the reverse?
Maybe she’s not into human culling like he is.
can no longer ‘grow’ together? At their age they’re going to start shrinking pretty quickly regardless.
“...they ‘can no longer grow together’”
Look for Bill to be with a much younger woman, soon.
Melinda is fine with the payoff.
Is she Marshall Applewhite's Daughter?
Melinda Gates is ugly... inside and out.
I bet Bill Gates has a young pretty thing he has been spending time with when out of town.
I predict we will know in the next few days
