About Melinda Gates

When it comes to love lives concluding with substantial settlements, Melinda Gates definitely took home the gold (literally). Impressive doesn’t even begin to cover the whopping 65 billion-dollar settlement spurred by her divorce with tech billionaire, , Bill Gates. One might say she was actually quite gifted at breaking up, particularly gifted... to the fiscal tune of $65,000,000,000!

Quips and exaggerations aside, the Gates’ separation will indeed remain memorable. Not just for the humongous price tag associated with it, but because it marked the end of a decades-long power couple's ride. Surprisingly, both mentioned exploring their "individual lives"! Apparently, those individual lives needed a sweet $65B cushion.

Buffeted by her enviable parting gift, we've crowned Melinda Gates as our Undisputed Divorce Championship winner. Wild fiscal settlements and peculiar splitting-parties analogies aside, we wish the former couple all the best in their further endeavors, even if there are a few, or perhaps several billion, reasons to be feeling a little heartbroken. She won the settlement, but’s let's keep in mind that $65 billion can plug a lot of financial holes, but it can't mend a broken heart. Darn!
