After news of Bill Gates divorce, revelations multiply about Microsoft creator
Separation proceedings launched two years ago, proximity to Jeffrey Epstein, liaison with an employee of the computer giant and attempts with others ... The American press has launched a great showdown on the billionaire and philanthropist.
Bill Gates was for decades the brilliant inventor of Microsoft, "with a teenage air," it was added. Then he becomes the first philanthropist on the planet, with his foundation. “Bill AND Melinda”, it was necessary to specify. Now Gates has a "reputation" as a man of "questionable behavior," headlines the New York Times. America is burning down what she loved, and the great show has begun. Each media has its (little) scoop on the divorce between Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, after twenty-seven years of marriage.
The first news is that the procedure was initiated at least two years ago by Melinda Gates. In early 2020, the Gates couple surprised by announcing that they would not be attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, an event they had been attending for years. As revealed by the Wall Street Journal, Melinda Gates had consulted her lawyers in 2019, explaining that her marriage was "irretrievably broken".
The couple did not give the reason for their separation when they made the announcement on Twitter on May 3: “After a lot of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have decided to end our marriage… We don't think we can get on with our lives as a couple, ”tweeted Bill Gates, signing with Melinda.
In fact, it appears that Bill Gates’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the underage predatory financier who committed suicide in his cell in the summer of 2019, played a significant role in the affair. Bill Gates had an ongoing relationship with him from 2011 onwards after the man had already been convicted and served in Florida a prison sentence for soliciting a minor prostitute.
A relationship with a Microsoft employee
Melinda Gates' prejudices against Jeffrey Epstein went back a long way: In September 2013, the couple had gone to dinner at Epstein's in Manhattan, revealed The Daily Beast, which claims that Ms. French Gates "declared shortly after that she was furious at the relationship between the two men ”.
The affair took a turn for the worse on October 12, 2019: on that day, the New York Times revealed that Bill Gates met Mr. Epstein "at least three times in [his] Manhattan palace and had stayed at least once late in the night ". At the time of this revelation, Ms. Gates had many discussions with her lawyers, reveals the Wall Street Journal.
