Having followed technology for as long as I can remember, one of the relationships I always admired was Bill & Melinda Gates. Those two met at Microsoft, married and have done great things with all that Microsoft cheddar. Didn’t think they were anything but lifelong mates.
Just saw the news that after 27 years of marriage, less than Kara and I have been married, the Gates’ are splitting.
“Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives. We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”
Bill Gates and Melinda Gates are splitting up after 27 years
This was sad news at a time we don’t receive much in the way of good news. The only good news remaining is Bill and Melinda will continue working on their foundation philanthropic work together. Some might wonder how that’s going to work with them not romantically involved any longer (maybe better, maybe worse, who knows?)?
You might ask how this has anything to do with movies or TVs? Eventually there will be a movie about this couple, as biopics are all the rage. Certainly way too premature, but this doesn’t seem to have a happy ending. That is yet to be written. Maybe the happy ending is they fund the cure for cancer through their foundation? I wouldn’t put anything past Bill Gates — and I mean that complimentary.
