I don't think a philanthropist like Bill Gates would care so much about money. Baba doles out money yearly and he would equally believe that whatever that woman got, she deserved it

I don't understand why white people don't want to embrace polygamy, it will save them a lot of stress instead of these short short marriages they do...you marry one person then after 10 or 15 years you divorce then go and marry another person.

These days in the US it's not uncommon to find people under 40 who have already been married 3 times
In fact, the culture in their family settings now is that if you haven't divorced twice, you are not yet mature or yet to experience marriage grin grin

madam, as far as I'm concerned, I'm free to express what I think about anybody. I no put gun for your head to accept my narrative. That's why you have your own brain to decipher info.

If you continue to attack every narrative that doesn't align with yours, that means you will miserable and jobless ( if you're not already jobless ). Everyone no fit reason same way like cow.
Nobody actually needs your opinion on this subject when the parties concerned have stated their facts.

Bill Gates was dethroned in 2018 by Jeff Bezos as the richest man in the world. 3 years before his divorce.

2020 - Still Jeff Bezos. He was 2nd

In 2021, the year of his divorce, he went down to 4th. However, his networth increased by billions of USD.

In 2022, he retained his position as 4th and his networth increased again.

2023, his networth reduced and he went down to 6th. This was definitely the year the money was split.

2024, down to 7th, but networth increased by 50%. It took him a year to regain the money.


You are not only delusional, but you must think we all do not have access to data to see he lost the position AS RICHEST MAN years before his divorce.

As at 1994 they married, Bill Gates was worth $8.2B. As at 2021, he was worth $124B. You want to speak more on a woman he hasn't failed to acknowledge her DIRECT input in his business?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Billionaires

Thank you.
Poco, forget long talk, that divorce affected him in so many ways, not only emotionally. The guy went from top 2 to not mentioned at all. He fell off the top 10.

By the way, he is currently at number 15 position as at 2025, not 7th.

Nailed what? That dude is not crazy about money and having it all to himself. He would probably still be the richest in the world if he hadn't been giving it away over the years

Bill Gates himself has clearly said he regrets the split from a woman who he has known since the 80s and married in the 90s. A woman who has seen him through a lot. But you with 1kva generator and funny brown shoes - thinks it is all about money.

The men without the money always crying on behalf of the rich men. Must be some coping mechanism or schadenfreude for you lots.

Forget plenty talk

Why wouldn't bill gate regret the divorce after he lost 50% of his net worth? from the richest man in the world to down

You are delusional if you think it was actually the relationship with the woman, it is the money that he lost that pained him.
Leave that human
She thinks she's smart
Clearly way off smartness
Imagine losing half of ur life's fortune
And it's all owed to the woman "u met un your 80s"

The story was that the wife "suspected" that Bill was cheating and then filed for divorce taking more than 50% of his wealth? Till date, no evidence of Bill's cheating.
So l don't know how it's not about the money.
Did the woman reject the money awarded to her as divorce benefits?

Welcome o, Bill Gates account officer.

I said he was 7th in 2024 (Forbes List) - I didn't say 2025. I will appreciate a link to where you saw he is 15th.

Omo, Read Adamu, read mehn!🤦‍♂️

How did you know he wasn't wrecked and wouldn't even be able to pay his workers if he was wrecked?

How much do you think is the salary of his workers?

Are you his accountant?

For the umpteenth time, don't say what you know nothing of — Try to comprehend my reply and do the maths properly this time, stay blessed!
As a goat, tell me your definition of "wrecked". A man whose little toe is bigger than your entire Hamlet is who you call wrecked?

You don't get it do you?

Bill Gates is not an active businessman anymore. He is not the ceo of Microsoft anymore.

He finished the game years ago and now is engaging in side Missons and building a legacy.

People beefed bill gates when he was in his prime but we would exchange him in a jiffy for the current breed of tech bro we have on top.

Any man who leaves a good woman always regrets

Men hardly leave good women....even the craziest of men will still attempt to reconcile with a good woman after all the madness.

Men appreciate good things

The money that he, himself was spending like water on charities. I don't think he attached so much importance to how much he had before and how much he has left as long he has enough amount to do his things as always. People like Gates may not even leave so much behind
