Earlier this week, Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates announced their divorce. On that same day, Melinda Gates became a billionaire.

Cascade Investment, Bill Gate’s investment vehicle, transferred nearly $2.4 billion in securities to Melinda Gates on Monday. The next day his net worth dropped slightly, from $130.4 billion to $128.1 billion, according to Forbes.

However, Bill Gates maintained his status as the fourth richest person in the world. He falls behind Jeff Bezos ($177 billion), Elon Musk ($157 billion) and Bernard Arnault and family ($150 billion).

Melinda Gates received 2.94 million shares of AutoNation and 14.1 million shares of Canadian National Railway Co., according to Forbes. AutoNation is worth $309 million and Canadian National Railway Co. is worth an estimated $1.5 billion.

Melinda Gates also received 25.8 million shares of Mexico-based Coca-Cola Femsa — worth $120 million — and 155.4 million shares of Mexican broadcaster Grupo Televisa SA — worth $386 million.

Up until 2000, Bill was Microsoft’s CEO, and he later moved out of a daily role with the company in 2008. Until 2014, he served as chairman of the board and announced just last year he was stepping down to focus on philanthropy.

In 2000, the couple founded The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a nonprofit organization that has spent more than $53 billion since its formation to target poverty and inequity worldwide, according to the foundation's website.

Melinda Gates, who was a product manager at Microsoft, met Bill Gates at a business dinner in New York City. They were married in Hawaii in 1994.

The couple’s divorce filings show they asked a judge in Washington state to divide their assets based on the of a separation contract, usually issued when spouses are living apart but have not yet divorced, according to Forbes.

The of the contract weren’t disclosed.

The only way women become billionaires is from divorce-VERIFIED FACT
In truth the future is females leeching on successful men to achieve their dreams.

That's why the adage says Behind every successful man is a feminist waiting to either accuse him of rape or file for divorce and take a cut from his wealth"
Ronaldo and Bill Gates are good examples

A man is not a financial plan

Women have an unfair advantage over men.. if they can't get what they want by being smart, they will get it by being dumb..

They get what they want from Union or from separation

They get it from victimising a person or from playing the victim

Marry a rich man and divorce him.... Cashout.

Marry an old man and make sure you get properties before he dies..... Cashout.

Show your body on Instagram or WhatsApp, let sex starved men beg for sex.... Cash out.

You met her in-shape (probably curvy shape) you disfigured the shape through childbirth. Can you return her to her original self? No! So you have to pay for the damages.

Such useless reasoning... So the child is now the man's personal property?
The child bears the man's name
