 Bill and melinda gates are actually divorcing each other that is a big deal because obviously bill
gates is one of the richest people um in the world i think he's something like i want
to say number three i think it's you know be zos musk and then him i believe so he's worth what like 124 billion or something like that and on top of that he has one of if not the most influential uh philanthropic venture and entity uh charity uh in the bill and melinda gates foundation right it's a family foundation so this is huge especially when bill gates is actually the head of a lot of the covet stuff that's going on right now so this is definitely a huge deal um there's definitely a lot of questions as to hey why does this happen especially why did this happen now of all times you know it's during the heat of coronavirus you know this is a crazy time for this to happen right now it's definitely a huge deal and i'm very curious as to man what exactly happened here uh because they have such an influential charity
and it is a situation where you would think that this would be the worst time that you would want to divorce um so bill gates he sent out a message on twitter he said after a great deal of thought and a lot
of work on our relationship we have made the decision to end our marriage mr and mrs gates went on to say they had quote built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy
productive lives but that they no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives it says the divorce will create new questions about the fate of the gates fortune. much of which has not yet been donated to the gates foundation mr gates who co-founded microsoft is one of the richest people in the world worth an estimated 124 billion dollars. quote the gates foundation is the most important and influential philanthropic entity in the world today said rob reich a professor of political scientist stanford university. since the univ since the gates foundation is a family foundation the gates's are breaking apart their family the divorce may have huge repercussions
for the foundation for its work across the globe.

so it's a huge huge deal don't know what the cause of this is uh yeah there's a lot of controversy with bill gates right now because he's actually saying that you know he doesn't uh there's some patent controversy where he's not down to give up the patent to other countries for the covet vaccine. is that part of the reason i have no idea i mean hard to speculate on a situation like this but regardless this is definitely a massive massive deal. bill gates is one of the most powerful and influential people in current society. and uh melinda gates was a big part you know her name is really part of the foundation.
so very big deal not really sure what's going on here .
