Since the Gateses said they would be going their separate ways, filings show that Bill Gates' holding company Cascade Investment has transferred AutoNation and Deere shares to Melinda French Gates. Today Bill Gates is the world's fourth wealthiest person, with a $152 billion net worth, according to Bloomberg. Gates left Microsoft's board in early 2020, but a spokesperson for Bill Gates told the New York Times that his decision to step down was not related to the affair. In 2019 Microsoft received a report that Bill Gates had tried to start an intimate relationship with an employee in 2000, and a board committee ran an investigation with help from a law firm, a Microsoft spokesperson told CNBC earlier. His co-star helped draw attention to a serious problem that kills more than 500,000 people every year: poor sanitation. 2018 Bill shared the stage with a beaker of poop at the Reinvented Toilet Expo in Beijing. The two met in 1987 and were married in 1994, and their foundation launched in 2000. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation committed 300 million to helping farmers in Africa and Asia cope with climate change. Last month the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where the two are co-chairs and trustees, said Melinda French Gates will resign if after two years either of the two concludes that they cannot work together.īill Gates started Microsoft with Paul Allen in 1975 and Gates served as CEO, and Melinda French Gates worked at Microsoft from 1987 to 1996.
While the two have agreed to keep working together on philanthropy, it's possible that collaboration will also end along with the marriage. A separation contract was not filed with the court. Monday's filing says neither spouse asked for a name change, but it doesn't give insight into everything that will be changing.
