She must have realised he's a fruitcake, either that or she's a sun lover and bill openly talks about blocking out the sun by filling the air with micro dust particles as a shield.

How much of his $126bn fortune will he lose?

It depends if he agreed prenuptials with his wife prior to getting married. I don't think she'll get as big a slice as Jeff Bezos's ex did, as she was a significant player in the rise of Amazon, whereas Mrs. Gates was just a Product Manager who played no ongoing role in leading Microsoft.
I'm just surprised this has come about now. Maybe with Bill in retirement mode with more time on his hands trying to play God, Melinda is discovering what an obsessive control freak he really is.

To be fair, if I was Bill Gates I'd be fucking some of the fittest women the world has to offer on a weekly basis, whilst snorting Columbia's finest off there glistening flanges.

For years the fool had all this money but couldn't ever buy a decent pair of glasses. That tells me that he listens to nobody...including her I guess.
She might not get much - may have to squeak by with "only" a couple of billion. My heart bleeds...

She'll probably pocket quite a fair bit, though she shouldn't do. She's done nothing to warrant a cut of his fortune which came through his own visionary genius. That guy is one of the few people you can rightfully say has changed the way we live and work. |

I just thought it was so crazy that a guy with his genius and vision could be such a fool when picking eyeglasses...and now I guess women. lol. |

Thinking more about it, this move might be more financially driven. Very rich people divorcing often has very little to do with matters of love, it is often done as a way to move vast amounts of money without raising suspicion. Bezos recently divorced, and it has been said that it is a legal way to sell his shares before the market collapses - people think nothing of it if someone is ordered by the court to do it. Will be interesting to see what happens here!

It'll be interesting to see how the "we need equality" crowd come out to support her. They weren't so happy about Adele's. The man is an absolute legend. He changed the world more than probably anyone else and that includes Steve Jobs. |

Wow... can you imagine if Stoke was sponsored/bankrolled by Microsoft or one of BG's philanthropic projects? Ok, it might mean we carry the logo of one of his wacky initiatives, but I'd take that if it meant making Man City look like paupers! |
