Maybe I can buy it and make it headquarters for The Craig and Melinda Gates Foundation.

They split the house.

Melinda keeps the gates.

Bill the windows.

Easy, Cowboy...Mel and I are working on our version of Windows: Windows Into the Soul 1.0.

That is the working title; lots more to come, if you know what I mean.

I think they filmed Vivid videos in the places I stay in Corolla. But the 4000 s.f beachfront place I stay in looks a lot nicer.

The weird thing is that Gates didn’t get married until his soon to be wife agreed that Gates could meet his ex girlfriend once a year at this vacation place.

Effing weirdo.

Gates gave Melinda 1.8 Billion about the same time they announced the separation

they have also lawyered up - way way up in the top tier of divorce lawyers

#1 sounds amicable; #2 might not be

I was just reading about this... Yes weird and I'm surprised his marriage lasted as long as it did.

Gates and Bezos getting divorced simultaneously? The only way to liquidate massive amounts of your own company stock without triggering a selling spree is to announce your divorce.

1.8 Billion?! Jeff Bezos must feel ripped off. Didnt McKinsey get something like 40-50 B?

I read someplace where that house belongs to the homewrecker/concubine/past flame/same time next year babe.

And it appears to be coming out that Bill is not even close to what he would have us believe he is.

reminds me of a scene in the French series. "A Very Secret Service", on Netflix
the CIA guys are slagging JFK for being a womanizer - working an angle to discredit him.
the French secret service guys are looking at each other. WTF is this about?
not recommended viewing for (American type) blind patriots .......
they take the piss outta the Quebecois, as well. hilarious.

"Bang" is not a word I would ever use to describe Gates in the physical act of love.
