Now the American news portal TMZ has made public that the divorce between the two was a deal closed for months with a plan of action. The main idea was to announce the news in March, while the family resided on a rented private island far away from media pressure.
What's more, the same portal exclusively publishes that Melinda Gates had rented the exclusive and private island of Calivigny for a price of $ 132,000 per night. Melinda's plan that her entire family could be quiet and avoid the media. Now, the plan was drawn up for the whole family except for one person, Bill, who was not invited to the trip.
In addition, the portal also states that the entire family had known about the divorce plans for a long time, and practically all of their loved ones have sided with Melinda, so the divorce agreement might not be as friendly as we would like to believe the couple. From TMZ there is talk of 'acrimony' in the behavior between the parties.
However, the travel plans would have been interrupted precisely for that; the animosity between the two and the fact that their lawyers have not yet reached a divorce agreement, would have caused that nothing has gone according to plan. Still, according to the portal, Melinda would have decided to travel to the island anyway.
Although it appears that the divorce had been in the making for a long time, and her lawyers had been negotiating for months, a divorce with such sums of money could take years to reach an agreement.
