In this episode, Julius Young and Kimberly Holmes analyze what went wrong with the Gates’s relationship and what the couple might do moving forward.
Bill and Melinda Gates’s relationship has been one wild ride. Bill and Melinda began their decade long relationship in 1987 after crossing paths at a dinner during the Trade Convention in New York City when Melinda was hired on as product manager at Microsoft. Melinda and the “Tech Wizard” tied the knot on January 1, 1994 in Hawaii.
Bill’s marriage to Melinda contained sundries of sputters on the way to their pending divorce after 27 years. In the Gates’s relationship, the tech honcho was allowed by his wife to spend time with an ex girlfriend, Ann Winblad, thanks to a built in arrangement Bill had with Melinda French prior to the now former pair exchanging nuptials. Ann and Bill bonded fondly over their mutual love of all things science, and they dated exclusively from 1984 until they split in 1987. In fact, they were so close that in 1997, Bill sought approval from Ann before he took the plunge and proposed to Melinda.
Throughout their 27 years married, Bill and Melinda welcomed 3 children, Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe, and started their wildly philanthropic Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000. The pair shares a net worth of 130 billion. The couple has high hopes of continuing to run the foundation together for their dreams of winning a Nobel Prize.
Can the couple find a way to transition their relationship from the bedroom to solely the boardroom? Can the effects and consequences of divorce be bought away? Find out today in Young & Holmes.
