Bill Gates hands ex-wife Melinda $8 BILLION five years after their divorce over his cheating and ties to Jeffrey Epstein
Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates has given his ex-wife Melinda $8 billion five years after they divorced over his affairs and closeness to Jeffrey Epstein.
Gates made the $7.88 billion donation to Melinda’s Pivotal Philanthropies Foundation as part of the couple’s enormous divorce settlement, The New York Times revealed.
Melinda resigned from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that they ran together in May 2024 and suggested her ex donate $12.5 billion to a new charitable foundation she intended to create.
A representative for Pivotal confirmed to the Times that the $12.5 billion agreement has been fulfilled, and the nearly $8 billion donation was part of that agreement.
Melinda married Bill in 1994 and split with him in 2021 after the couple had three children together.
She condemned him over his affairs and close friendship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Gates says he deeply regrets his friendship with Epstein but has long denied any impropriety.
