Though the pair in a statement assured the public that they will continue to work together at their foundation despite ending their marriage, the news about the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) founder and his partner of 27 years may send shockwaves across their projects.

In the latest 13F filing from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust for the period ended 12/31/20, top holdings by value in descending order included Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B), Waste Management (NYSE:WM), Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), Canadian National (NYSE:CNI), Walmart (NYSE:WMT), EcoLab (NYSE:ECL), Crown Castle (NYSE:CCI), Fedex (NYSE:FDX) and UPS (NYSE:UPS).

Two stocks in which the foundation has a large stake (more than 10% of shares outstanding) included Schrodinger (NASDAQ:SDGR) and Coca-Cola Femsa (NYSE:KOF).

Most of the other holdings were below $1 billion in market value and their ownership consisted of less than 3% of shares outstanding in the associated stock. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in their latest quarterly filing, disclosed ownership stakes in Amyris (NASDAQ:AMRS), Vir Biotech (NASDAQ:VIR), BionTech (NASDAQ:BNTX), Curevac (NASDAQ:CVAC)and Atreca (NASDAQ:BCEL).

Our readers may recall when the world's richest person, Jeff Bezos, and his partner Mackenzie Scott called it quits two years ago. This is how their wealth ended up split between them:

MacKenzie Bezos says she will give ex-husband Jeff Bezos 75% of the couple's Amazon (AMZN) stock and voting control of her shares as part of the process of dissolving their marriage.

Bill’s probably wanting to ‘trade up’ looks wise.

Maybe he and Cardi-B can meet for lunch.

I can’t help but wonder if she’s cashing in before Gates of Hell loses all of his money if he’s involved in any sex with children...just thinking of his connections to Epstein. Maybe Maxwell is spilling some juicy beans....maybe that’s what the black eye was all about lol.

Bill Gates likely was killed by Indian locals (vaccine-related) in July 2013.

Most woman don’t age well, even with all the money in the world. For example, who the hell would want to take a dip with Hillary Clinton?

They had an agreement that he could spend time with his side chick every once in a while.

Divorce is the number one contributor to poverty.

This seems to be a “top” story. Honestly, I don’t give a hoot. His marital issues are between his wife and him.

Not my monkeys, not my circus.

OK, I’ll take Bill or Melinda’s poverty over my wealth anytime. :)

This thread is about their stock investments, but not one poster thus far seems interested in that.
