"Bill Gates, that's who he left his wife Melinda for"

Apparently the billionaire would never forget his ex-girlfriend, with whom he has always remained in contact despite the marriage.

He continues to talk about the divorce between Bill and Melinda Gates. The couple made the announcement on Twitter without disclosing the details of the separation. In recent days, however, the name of another woman has leaked: Ann Winblad, the ex-girlfriend of the founder of Microsoft. Apparently the two have always remained in contact after ending their relationship in 1987. Not only that: it seems that Bill has introduced in the prenuptial contract with Melinda the right to spend one weekend a year in his ex-girlfriend's beach house. 

A cottage called Castle Sween is located in Corolla, in North Carolina's Outer Banks. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an ocean view gazebo, and a private path to the beach. Here Bill and Ann, according to what was told by the well-informed, competed with each other in dune buggies, launched hang gliders, strolled on the beach and talked for hours about life. Now Castle Sween has popped up on the Airbnb site, dubbed a "princely place for beach lovers", and can be rented for $ 600 a night.

Did Bill Gates leave his wife for his ex-girlfriend?

According to overseas rumors, Bill Gates and his old flame no longer need that cottage because they are thinking of getting back together now that she is long divorced and he is about to do so. They are 70 and 65 years old, respectively. The couple fell in love in the open from 1984 to 1987. Gates and Winblad met at a tech conference and started dating virtually: they went to see the same movie in different cities while talking on the phone. At the time, Bill was too busy with Microsoft to think about marriage, while Ann, five years her senior, wanted a family. The story ended but the two have always maintained an excellent relationship.

Ann Winblad, who is Bill Gates' ex-girlfriend

Today Ann Winblad lives in San Franciscoo: she was married for six years to Edward Alex Kline, 63-year-old private investigator and brother of actor Kevin Kline. Bill Gates' ex-girlfriend is a developer, venture capitalist and entrepreneur. Ann Winblad has been at the helm of dozens of companies and startups: she was the first, in the seventies, to understand that the future would be all in software and for this reason she immediately decided to invest in Microsoft.
