Before the Song and Ming Dynasties in May, Bill Gates was an American hero and a world-famous super-rich and philanthropist. But when Seattle Medina finally bid farewell to the rainy season, his life did not usher in the dawn.

The fall of the altar originated from a divorce notice. The Gates announced the end of their marriage on May 5th. This 27-year marriage was confirmed by two people. "I can't believe they can continue to grow together." Then the Microsoft board decided that Bill Gates should leave the board.

Is this still the male model who thinks that the smartest decision in my life is to find his wife Melinda? After reeling, the world gasped. It turns out that the marriage of this model couple is a chicken feather. This crowded relationship is not only related to both parties, but also to a third party, and even to Epstein, a sex offender.

Old money meets nouveau riche

/kloc-In May of 0/7, Gates admitted through a spokesman that he had a long-term affair with a female employee of Microsoft and ended it in a "friendly way" before 2020. It turns out that Gates, who has always shown modesty and kindness, turned out to be a dirty liar.

Houses with bells and tripods are often accompanied by desire. Many powerful people are required not to learn to overcome their desires, but to cover up this stain with a fig leaf and show people as good people in front of the general public. One of the rules of a lady's survival is to ignore her husband's romance.

As clever as Melinda, how could she not know this rule? American tabloids even reported that on their wedding day, Gates asked Melinda to be alone with her ex-girlfriend for a week every year. Melinda actually agreed to this ridiculous request. It's probably not Gates' cheating that really made her take back the oath she made before God. ...

The Wall Street Journal previously revealed that the rift between Gates has actually lasted for a long time. As early as two years ago, Melinda began to consult a divorce lawyer and revealed that her marriage had "irretrievably broken down".

From the outside world, this elite marriage has a long history, but at 20 1 1, a risk factor transaction rushed into it.

In the Upper East Side of new york, where wealthy businessmen gather, Gates met the notorious sex offender Epstein, and this look has quietly changed the fate of both sides.

Epstein owns a private island in the Caribbean and receives celebrities every year. It's not the blue sky that attracts these celebrities-Epstein collected a group of underage girls on the island.

In 2005, Epstein was accused of sexually assaulting a girl, and he was not arrested until 2008. The charm of American privileged class is that money can flout the law. Over the years, Epstein's rights have taken root in law enforcement agencies. In the end, the Florida prosecutor agreed not to prosecute him. In the end, he only faced less than two years in prison, during which he was paroled in a near-free job.

In other words, when Gates met Epstein, the latter was notorious. And those nouveau riche who struggle to grow from the bottom and reach out to the top have a fatal temptation to "old money" like Gates, and their undisguised greed is very novel to the latter.

Angry Melinda

In 20 13, accompanied by her husband, Melinda met Epstein for the first time, and that meeting made her very unhappy. This sex offender is vulgar and likes to show off. Melinda was on pins and needles during the meeting. Afterwards, she angrily warned Gates not to associate with Epstein.

Although the relationship between Gates and Epstein cooled down, they still kept in touch before Epstein fell into the wave of litigation again in 20 17. A flight data sheet shows that Gates took Epstein's private jet to Palm Beach, Florida on 20 13.

2065438+July 2009, Epstein was arrested again on suspicion of having sex with minors in Florida and new york. Perhaps this "upstart" who grew up from the bottom up has mastered too many secrets of the rich. At this point, Epstein became the abandoned son of the forces behind him. In August this year, the swaggering sex offender committed suicide in a prison in lower Manhattan.

Subsequently, according to the autopsy, the forensic doctor speculated that he did not commit suicide, but was strangled. But the forensic guess was not adopted after all. After all, who cares about the death of a "mouse"? It is the rich man who was once fettered by Epstein who really fell into the stormy waves.

Fortunately, Gates and Epstein had no business contacts, and the details of private contacts were only the shadow of American tabloids, so Gates was not implicated at that time, but the overwhelming reports touched Melinda's nerves.

After reading these surveys, Melinda found that the relationship between Gates and Epstein was probably beyond her imagination. At the same time, she also found that Gates' former adviser and former foundation employee had too deep contact with Epstein.

In June 5438+10 of the same year, Melinda talked with the divorce lawyer many times and finally showed her hand to Gates. The following year, in 2020, both husband and wife were absent from the World Economic Forum, which required punching in the schedule.

Perhaps in Melinda's view, her husband's betrayal is not a necessary factor to stifle marriage, and Gates' irrational choice to entangle with sexual abusers is a disregard for common interests. In addition, the youngest child has reached the age of 18, and the couple has reached the age of 60. She has completed the duties of being a good mother and a qualified wife. There is really no need to shed blood for the Gates family.

Previous couples were excellent partners. They follow Qi Mei's example and whitewash the dazzling American dream for the whole world.

Villains, angels and executioners

Before the divorce, Gates was an angel on earth. He is rich, smart and a philanthropist. His history of founding Microsoft is an example for every entrepreneur and an idol in the eyes of countless people. In fact, before he became an entrepreneur, Gates was obviously a dude.

There is a Melinda between an angel and a villain.

Before meeting Gates, Melinda was a shining girl-born in the middle class, graduated from the computer department of Duke University with an MBA. After joining Microsoft, she quickly emerged. Before marrying Bill Gates, Melinda managed 100 employees.

In contrast, Gates' success is not a myth. Although the American media are keen to show the world a perfect fairy tale that creates wealth through their unremitting efforts, they fail to mention that Gates' mother Mary is an excellent entrepreneur herself. It is hard to say that Gates' success has nothing to do with his mother's accumulated wealth and connections.

When he was studying at Harvard, Gates loved to line up naked. After dropping out of school, this hobby intensified. Bill Gates' biographer has revealed that he is not a wooden technical house, and his lewdness is an open secret in the industry.

In order to build a diligent entrepreneur, Gates understands that he must find an excellent partner to help him to be labeled as diligent and wealthy, and the other party should be a typical example of struggle. So in Microsoft's office, Gates found the treasure-like Melinda.

There is no romantic history of Cinderella meeting the prince in the world. This marriage was full of calculations from the beginning. Melinda recalled: "Bill Gates listed the pros and cons of marriage on the whiteboard in the bedroom and made a careful analysis." Moreover, Gates asked his ex-girlfriend's permission seriously before he married Melinda.

Melinda didn't let Gates down. The traditional lady image she showed after marriage was very popular among the public. Gates works 16 hours a day and has no time to take care of his family. Melinda also worked hard to take over "widowhood and parenting". Even if Gates had an affair with a female subordinate more than once, she smiled faintly, and even stepped forward to support Gates and clean up the mess when necessary.

In 2000, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was established, and most of the assets under the names of the couple have been donated to the Gates Foundation. He also made a will and donated 98% of his legacy to the Gates Foundation. At this time, Gates has been written as a philanthropist by Time. Let everyone forget that he is a cold-blooded and decisive executioner in the business world.

1980, IBM introduced personal computers. With the help of Gates' mother, IBM extended an olive branch to him to write programs with his partner Allen. What Gates is really interested in is that IBM needs an operating system.

In fact, according to the level of Microsoft at that time, it was completely incapable of developing an operating system, but Gates readily promised.

Allen learned that Tim Patterson developed a technology called QDOS (Quick &; Dirty), bought with Gates for 75,000 yuan, changed its name to MSDOS (formerly MSDOS(Windows system), and sold it to IBM.

This is the first time Gates has taken off on the road of starting a business. His second take-off was at the expense of Allen.

Since the establishment of Microsoft, the two have had many frictions on the number of shares held. It was not until 1983 that Allen, who had just been diagnosed with cancer, heard that Gates was discussing with Ballmer how to further dilute the equity in his office. At this point, the two sides officially broke.

The battle for shares also ended with Allen leaving Microsoft. Later, he sold 68 million shares of Microsoft and became the stepping stone to Gates' richest man.

After that, Microsoft climbed the big tree of IBM and quickly occupied the PC market. This seedling attached to IBM is growing sturdily. With its absolute monopoly position, it signed an "exclusive" clause with software developers, making all popular software rely on Microsoft system for survival.

Microsoft's road to prosperity is quite unbearable-by copying WordPerfect and Lotus, Word and Excel were introduced, and the latter two quickly occupied the market by relying on the compatibility of Windows. Under the strong plagiarism of Microsoft, the Silicon Valley companies at that time had no choice but to be acquired by Microsoft or copied to death by Microsoft.

It was not until the foundation appeared that the label of the executioner gradually faded. At this time, Gates generously contributed to the charity of the world. In all respects, he is indeed an angel of the people of the world.

Abandoned gate

Unexpectedly, after the divorce, Gates was abandoned by Microsoft, which he founded. The collapse of Gates' heroic design will inevitably affect Microsoft's share price. Microsoft's top priority is to cut off its relationship with Gates.

In the second half of 20 19, a Microsoft female engineer claimed that she had sexual relations with Gates since 2000, and the Microsoft board of directors subsequently launched an investigation, but the matter was quickly dropped. Until recently, Gates became the focus, and the board of directors restarted the matter. Soon, the news broke that Bill Gates admitted to having an affair and withdrew from the Microsoft board of directors.

On the one hand, Bill Gates, who is lonely after divorce, and on the other hand, he has harvested all Melinda. According to Forbes, Gates is currently worth more than $654.38+03 billion, or about RMB 846.5438+04 billion. After divorcing Gates, Melinda will get a large fortune. And public opinion and children are almost all standing beside her.

After 27 years of humiliation, this traditional woman who is willing to retreat behind the scenes for her family has grown into a representative of women's rights. On 20 13, the Gates need to write the annual newsletter of the Foundation. However, Gates only left a section for Melinda, but Melinda said that the two sides, as co-chairmen, should jointly write this newsletter, so a fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides, even to the point of "almost killing each other." At that time, Melinda thought that "their marriage would end because of this." Although they finally compromised each other, the balance of rights between husband and wife has tilted.

In the eyes of those who are familiar with the couple, Melinda has more potential to become a leader. Buffett even thinks that Melinda can grasp the overall situation better than Gates.

Last year, Melinda published a new book, Women's Moment: How to Empower Women and Change the World, encouraging all women to strive for equality and realize their own values. In the future, Melinda's life will be more exciting, and we have reason to believe that she will write a new climax of her career.

Bill Gates once said, "Wealth will visit everyone in the world, but if he finds that this person is not ready to meet him, he will walk through the door and fly out of the window."

I don't know if Gates is ready to meet the lucky god, turn the tide of public opinion and be redefined as an American hero.
