Bill and Melinda Gates met while working at Microsoft and married in 1994. The couple, who vowed to give up more than half of their money, will continue to collaborate on charitable endeavours. The financial ramifications are not readily apparent.
Bill Gates, co-founder and former CEO of Microsoft, and his partner, Melinda French Gates, announced their divorce on Twitter on Monday. The two also continue to collaborate on philanthropic projects addressing education, gender equity, and health care.
“After much thinking and work on our relationship, we have decided to end our marriage,” Bill and Melinda Gates said in a statement that Bill Gates tweeted out.
“Over the last 27 years, we have raised three amazing children and built a foundation that operates all over the world to help all people live safe, meaningful lives. We really believe in the goal and will continue to work together at the base, but we no longer believe we will flourish as a pair together in this next stage of our lives. As we continue to navigate this new life, we request space and privacy for our family.”

I saw a recent pic of these two....
And, my first impression was why is Gates in a pic with Bruce Jenner...?
If you were talking about Zuckerberg or that nose ringed dope smoker at Twitter I'd be fine with skid row.They are utterly worthless Maoists pushing utterly worthless products.
I,too,have stayed at Holiday Inn Express and have been quite satisfied. I only mention it because it's middle class...and I'd love to see both of these members of royalty reintroduced (or,perhaps,introduced) to the middle class.
I am going to go full socialist and suggest that the property be divided up among the American people.
Melinda suffers from man face syndrome.
Partition that hard drive.
They woke up one day and saw each other and went egads!
Not news everyone at Microsoft is a temp.
Is her maiden name Hackett, by any chance?
NFN, but Melinda cuts a reasonably fine figure as a man. That’s a fine head of hair.
How stupid
Makes one wonder if they only effed three times....
She has a much stronger jaw line than Bill as well. My wife speculates that she has had cosmetic surgery and growth hormones which are now starting to backfire.
