Bill Gates is probably stepping down. Looks like he and the wife are splitting up.

Wow. Apparently, Bill Gates had a girlfriend the entire span of his marriage. And, I think, his wife knew about it.

Ann Winbald from the Seattle area.

After they started dating, "Bill and I went for a walk on a beach, and Bill tells me, ‘I can see my way, if I really squint, to $500 million in revenue," Winblad told the Silicon Valley Business Journal in 2013.

That amount was at least five times more than what any software company was doing at the time, the outlet noted.

"Bill was a great influence on me, and I was thinking, ‘Wow, you can actually build a company that big in the software industry? Are you kidding me?'" Winblad said.

"I remember making him take a stick or a rock and drawing the numbers out on the sand for me. How was he going to get there? He then said, ‘What troubles me is I can’t see how I am going to get past $500 million.’

"I thought, ‘You’re troubled about that?’" Winblad recalled. "I was jazzed that someone could think their way through to $500 million. There was a lot of inspiration from each other back then because there was so little collective wisdom."

Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein prompted Melinda Gates to seek divorce: documents

When Melinda Gates began meeting with divorce lawyers in 2019, two years before she eventually filed, it was due in part to her concern over her husband's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.


When Melinda Gates began meeting with divorce lawyers in 2019, two years before she eventually filed, it was due in part to her concern over her husband's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, as reported in October 2019 in The New York Times.

It was a former employee of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation who told the Wall Street Journal that Melinda had worries about Bill's relationship with Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Those revelations came to light in an article in The New York Times in 2019.

After the Times story dropped in October 2019, there were a flurry of calls between Melinda Gates and her attorneys, the Journal reports after reviewing documents. Bill Gates had met with Epstein on multiple occasions, and had spent at least one late night at his Manhattan townhouse.


Bill Gates' office said at the time that these meetings were all about philanthropy. A spokesperson for Gates, Bridgitt Arnold, said that "Bill Gates regrets every meeting with Epstein and recognizes it was an error in judgement to do so. Gates recognizes that entertaining Epstein's ideas related to philanthropy gave Epstein an undeserved platform that was at odds with Gates’s personal values and the values of his foundation."

The meetings between Gates and Epstein went on even after Melinda Gates had expressed her concerns with Epstein.

Too bad his connection to Epstein will only cost him some money and a wife...

anyway his wife could ask for one of the terms of the divorce be for him to promise to never pre-install any anit-virus software on any computers that are sold with windows?
