Bill and Melinda Gates announce they’re divorcing — and there isn’t a prenup

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, once the richest guy on the planet, whose net worth is over $100 billion, and his staggeringly wealthy wife Melinda Gates — who’s worth $70 billion — announced Monday they’re getting divorced but will keep working together at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest private charitable foundation.

The pair broke the divorce news in identical tweets.

“Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives,” each of them wrote on Twitter. “We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives.”

"We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life."

After hearing news like this, I just don't think I can go on anymore.

I'm glad to hear that they are approaching this as mature individuals...

Let's see, the wife will immediately seek alimony payments as her meger wealth simply isn't enough and she cannot pay the bills.....

This will force Bill to live in that garage again.

That means Bill will have to invent a new operating system......

Yeah. It would be great if more people were able to be that honest with each other instead of hanging onto something likely fester into a toxic and destructive relationship.

New meaning to “control, alt, delete”
