Bill Gates' Divorce!

no kidding , but playing the devils advocate ....

yep , he created Microsoft , but the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation has created a image for them that has established a place at the top of the list of worthwhile members of the worlds society , outside his role as a successful businessman . That legacy is something few business people achieve .

how much of that was driven by her , or both of them

Perhaps it is time for a re-think of marriage-as-we-know-it. The 'Till Death Do Us Part' model was fashioned centuries ago when people's lifespan was much shorter, women did not work outside the home and people's expectation of what life had to offer was vastly different.

Just because a marriage ends, it does not mean it was a bad marriage, simply that those concerned had matured differently and now want a different direction in their lives

 

Yes - once upon a time "til death do us part" was generally 10-15 years max ... enough time to whack out a few kids and be around until they were self sufficient

 

They are not the top 1%, they are the Top 5, used to be the TOP...

 

The vow should be "Till bored do we part"

 

LoL Why would I have a problem with them, I'm just recounting their own words.
Did you ask your ex if you could marry your wife? They are not typical. Kinda strange actually.
And yet reading their statements the ex contributed more to microsoft the wife, even after he got married. Should she get some of the divorce money?
As much as I'm cynical, not enough to call raising your own kids "work" or a "job".

I agree she ain't no tropy. The foundation was mainy her idea with his money. And maybe that was an issue.

I'd like to say i hate more than everybody and everything, but ya know, gotta stay humble.

 

Plot thickens

Gates’ divorce in the works for years

 

Yikes... I really admire the work that Bill and Melinda have done through their foundation. The Bill and Jeffery connection I really hope was an innocent one.

 

Hmmm. And like who else would have the skills and connections to break into a secure jail?

 

.... so now I understand the relationship with ex..... getting quite weird

Bill Gates 'womanizer,' held nude pool parties: biographer

 

LoL Quite predictable I reckon.
Unless you believe the magazines.

 

I am a believer

 

You just love your daily dose of drama
The turkish soapies on youtube are the latest fad...

 

Let's be honest, a lot of geriatric mega-rich fellas marrying someone a third their age are clearly doing it for one reason.

I don't have much sympathy when they lose a part of their fortune. They are smart enough to realise its effectively "payment for services". Not many 20-year-old models have much interest in an old geezer.

(Granted, this doesn't really apply to Bill Gates)

 

Or kanye west

 

who has the 20 year old model? Gina?

 

This isn't always true, sounds good though.

 

50/50 all things considered, since half don’t last the intended and promised distance, probably 3/4 imho, more than I realised before understanding, are living with the enemy, some aware, some not!
