Video of Island at the link. Beautiful!


Bill and Melinda Gates reportedly planned to make their stunning divorce announcement in March — and she hoped to avoid the media glare by renting a remote, private island in Grenada for the family.

Sources told TMZ that Melinda rented Calivigny Island for a whopping $132,000 a night for her and the couple’s children, as well as their significant others.

Melinda decided to go anyway despite efforts by the couple’s lawyers to hash out a settlement during what the outlet described as an unfriendly split, according to the outlet.

On the same day they announced their separation, Bill’s investment firm transferred $1.8 billion in stock to Melinda – the first indication of how one of the world’s richest couples will divvy up their considerable assets.

The philanthropist couple announced their divorce on Monday in a joint statement.

"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage," the couple wrote on Twitter.

"Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives," they added.

The couple have three children — Jennifer, 25, Rory, 21, and Phoebe, 18 — who live mostly private lives.

Yup, because they can afford it. I don't begrudge them, it's their money, spend it as you wish...I just want to be one of them =) Work myself to death, find a nice girl, give her half of my stuff...nice!
It use to be that the wife stayed home, raised the kinds and worked like a dog keeping things running and the husband earned the money living. That wife and those like her deserve half and more if the ass wipe husband runs off with a younger woman after the wife is beat down working like a dog and raising the brats.

Now the wife has to earn a pay check too. I declined half of my ex's pension just to get the hell away from him.

I give up.
Good for Melinda. She gave him 27 years and 3 kids, and even worked on his cockamamie projects with him. I bet she's glad she's out of it.

I wonder how long before Billy is tooling down Pacific Coast Highway in his Lambo with young blonde hanging on his every word?

I think she was hand and glove with his nonsense. He's a complete dork, so any woman or man he maybe tooling down the highway with is only after his money. Or maybe he could hook up with AOC

Got my tin foil hat on and was thinking maybe Bill is distancing himself from his "non-culpable" wife/family, maneuvering assets to protect the empire with this divorce before he gets prosecuted.

I mean, ya know, Bill is known for his forward-thinking, brilliant mind. (spit)

He's tied to Epstein (New York Times - "Bill Gates Met With Jeffrey Epstein Many Times, Despite His Past") and most importantly he's neck deep in the Covid ruse that I think is going to implode with many looking for somebody(s) to blame.

Won't even get in to his brain child monopolistic Microsoft Windows. (double spit)

Surely Bill is not such an egotistical narcissist that he can't see the writing on the wall.

Where's my Magic 8 Ball predictor......

That $132,000 per night to her is like $88.00 to a millionaire. At her wealth level it is not much different than normal people buying a Starbucks coffee.
