Now just watch all the fake dating profile images for Bill and Melinda crop up, haha!

I guess that shuts the gates on my quest to be adopted.

I wish them both well. I was never crazy about how Microsoft shut out other innovators to get their billions but they have used it to better society and I appreciate that.

I sometimes wonder if there aren't financial benefits to splitting up the fortune? Less taxes for lower income (despite one's savings and investments and such) or something like that? Not that the Gates' seem overly bothered about paying taxes but I don't see them off camera much. Apparently things were different than on camera.

I doubt it. Watch her marry someone else. Mackenzie Scott did, and she's the richest woman in the world and a great philanthropist.

@barjoe She's going to be seen holding hands with someone named Davidson (?) next week. Never fails that when a guy makes lots of money his wife leaves him. I'm happier being a Monk. Philanthropy is a means to attract more money or pay less in taxes. Government programs are more fair and effective than charity but require taxes.

@rainmanjr Melinda Gates was head of marketing for Microsoft before they got married. She is no floozy. They are married for 27 years. Ah...she's not dating Pete Davidson lol. Mackenzie Bezos was one of the founders of Amazon so she helped make that money. They both got lucky, really. Don't worry about Bill, he'll be fine. Jeff Bezos is doing okay as well.

@barjoe Oh, I'm not worried about any human. We are one whacked species.

Another billionaire splitting his fortune while still living.

The disadvantage of being a famous person is you get no privacy in your personal life. I don't care, and wish for them an amicable split. The reality is marriage is hard, and who you are in the beginning is not who you are many years later. They did their time and raised their kids. Now they deserve the privacy to work out their issues and get on with their lives.

I wouldn't mind losing my privacy for a few billion.
