Bill and Melinda Gates have ended their marriage. However, the foundation they created together remains intact.

The billionaire Microsoft founder announced his plans to separate from his wife of 27 years in May 2021, and their divorce was finalized in August 2021.

Bill Gates posted a tweet saying that after much thought, and lots of work on the relationship, he had decided to end his marriage. “Over the last 27-years, we have raised three amazing children and built a foundation all around the world that allows all people to live productive, healthy lives.”
