my son asked me why would she divorce him now if they have been together 27years.

Well just because you think they are both really old kids have a hard time with an age that is almost 3 times theirs.
He is 65 and she is 56 , she likely has 25-30 years more of life , and she realizes he has gone nuts pontificating about fake meat and inventing the next plandemic.

maybe she wants to eat steak and enjoy life

we send people away for less time than 25-30 years for murder , also don't think she needs to take his billions , it is the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation the largest philanthropist organization in the world , if she was a founder it is part hers and she could easily be drawing a salary from the foundation for helping to run it not for profit doesn't mean unpaid , the Director of the Red cross makes 600K a year 200K more than POTUS


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

If they have offspring-their kids will p--- away their fortune for them,wasted life worrying about money.
Old Bill should give it all away and move to North Sentinel island.

No the won’t. Gates has been quite public that his children will each inherit $10 million. He has also designed the Foundation so that it will spend it’s last dollar 20 years after the last surviving (Bill or Melinda) pass away.

It’s rather amazing how many people on here wish them the worst of luck. You can disagree with his politics or motives but to wish them poorly is just plain mean. No two ways about it, most people are mean and uncaring. Many on here have proved that.

Clark, anybody who proposes human population control, whether a trapper or a billionaire, doesn't play on the same team is me. Threaten my life or the life of my offspring for your "human management program" and I'm not going to think to highly of you.

You could also fact check that claim. It’s quite easy:

https://www.reuters.com/article/fac...ntaken-out-of-contextagain-idUSL1N2MF1L8

Exactly like the liberal media, many on here prefer to interpret things their own way instead of looking into the issue and actually figuring out what is going on. Bias is a two-way street.

Your "fact check" consists of a quote by Gates that supports what OP said and then opinion/commentary by a journalist trying to explain it away. He did in fact say that vaccines are a tool to control the population. The journalist says that is because decreasing mortality is associated with decrease in the population. This is not an intuitive idea but I would be open to it. I think it is more likely that Western culture with the breakdown the family and .the use of contraceptives and widespread availability of indecent media predict decreased reproduction. Regardless, it is obvious his agenda is population control (like his father who was a eugenicist and on board of Planned Parenthood) which many of think is unneeded and an abhorrent violation of individual human dignity.

Quail separate for safety but always roost together for safety.

Can't really figure what anyone is doing when they spend a life time figuring reasons for leaving your back door open so they can know your business at will.

Or I could believe some random dude (or dudette, who am I to say?) on the internet and their interpretation of what was said? Just give me a third-party response to the situation, preferably one that isn’t blatantly biased, and I’m open to your interpretation. Otherwise you are one person claiming to be correct. You could even watch/listen to the whole thing here.

Because obviously rich people have some sort of celebrity appeal or there's a reaction when they interject their wealth into other people's business. Why does the National Enquirer still get printed...?

She may want to donate her portion of the foundation to causes she wants to support more than maybe in the past. With all the time Bill spends travelling to and from countries, sites, learning centers etc. they may not have been together much for several years. From what I read years ago They had roughly 90 billion when they put about 30 billion in the foundation. Not surprising to me that with the growth of tech and computers that their wealth is now even greater than it was previously. Almost any of us with retirement investments or other investments have see very good growth the last couple decades.

This divorce and giving away their money is probably a way around ol' Sleepy Joe's plan to raise the tax rate on capitol gains.

She's dumping his butt cause she knows what the fake shots (not a vaccine) r gonna do to most of the recipients at a later date (read population control). That is why she bought/rented an island and is gettin as far away from Bill!! She already got $2.5 B.

So you think Gates knew in 2010.........when he pledged to give his fortune away..........that Biden would raise capital gains taxes in 2021 ?

As long as he donates his wealth in the form of Microsoft shares, there is no capital gains tax. In fact he generates a tax write off for the charitable donation.

I don't see any way that divorce benefits him except perhaps, psychologically.

There was an article in the news yesterday, that said that Bill Gates spends a LONG WEEKEND once every year with his old Girlfriend at her house. How many Wives would put up with their Husband spending a long Weekend every year with his old Girlfriend ?

Possibly, Gates's Wife had enough of the old Girlfriend!
