Celebrity Divorces That Ripped Fortunes Apart And Left Egos In The Gutter
Bill Gates and Melinda Gates – Settlement: $76 Billion
Seventy-six. Billion. Dollars. That’s what it took to officially end Bill Gates and Melinda Gates’s marriage in 2021. She describes in her memoir “The Next Day” the moment she told him the year prior, during a New Mexico getaway, that she could no longer stay. These days, he’s chasing breakthroughs in AI, while she’s laser-focused on gender equality worldwide.
Bill and Melinda did not meet at some glamorous gala, but in a Microsoft conference room. It was 1987, and she had just joined the company. Fast-forward to 1994, when they were saying, “I do” in Hawaii. That union produced three children and birthed the impactful Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
