Bill and Melinda Gates, the chairs and founders of their eponymous research foundation, announced Monday they are ending their marriage. The Microsoft co-founder and his wife, the company’s former general manager, have been married for 27 years. The New York Times reported on the details of Gates and Epstein’s relationship in 2019 after Epstein took his own life in prison. Several people familiar with their relationship said Gates went to Epstein’s New York home at least three times and stayed late into the night on at least one occasion. Prior to the Times’ report, Gates denied any connection with Epstein, who was known for bringing rich and powerful people into his inner circle with the promise of business opportunities.
