Billionaire philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates announced in a statement Monday 03 May 2021 afternoon that they will divorce after 27 years of marriage.
The Microsoft co-founder said that he and his wife will continue working together at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Last year, Bill Gates, formerly the world’s richest person, said he was stepping down from Microsoft’s board to focus on philanthropy.
Gates was Microsoft’s CEO until 2000 and since then has gradually scaled back his involvement in the company he started with Paul Allen in 1975. He transitioned out of a day-to-day role in Microsoft in 2008 and served as chairman of the board until 2014.
