Popular American billionaire businessman Bill Gates has paid $8 billion to his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates’ charity. This comes five years after their split over his affairs with other women, and fans have been reacting.
According to The New York Times, Gates made the $7.88 billion donation to Melinda French Gates’ Pivotal Philanthropies Foundation in 2024, and the sum, one of the largest public donations ever recorded, was revealed in a new tax filing, which shows the first specific financial terms of the couple’s high-profile split in 2021.
A representative for Pivotal told the Times the $12.5 billion agreement has been fulfilled, and the nearly $8 billion donation was part of that agreement.
WOW.
