Bill Gates and Melinda Gates Finalize Their Divorce 3 Months After Split

It’s official. Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates finalized their divorce on Monday, August 2, just three months after announcing their split, Us Weekly can confirm.

In May, the Microsoft cofounder 65, and Moment of Lift author, 56, confirmed they decided to go their separate ways after 27 years of marriage.

“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” Melinda wrote at the time in a Twitter statement that Bill reposted to his own account. “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. We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives.”

The former couple wed in Lanai, Hawaii, in January 1994 and share three children: daughter Jennifer, 25, son Rory, 22, and daughter Phoebe, 18.

After the pair announced their breakup, Us confirmed that their divorce petition did not include a signed prenuptial agreement. With an estimated net worth of $124 billion, the tech entrepreneur is the fourth richest person in the world. The twosome’s charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is also the world’s largest private charitable foundation, with an estimated $51 billion in assets.
