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.

As sad as it is, at the end of the day sometimes people grow apart, and even if it\u2019s a little at a time, after over nearly three decades that can leave people in very different places.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Jana Kramer Reveals AWFUL Details About Mike Caussin &amp; Friends In First Podcast Since Divorce!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seems likely the couple\u2019s divorce won\u2019t get messy. Though they met in the late 1980s, Bill was already incredibly rich \u2014 he was the CEO of <strong>Microsoft<\/strong> at the time \u2014 so they actually signed a separation contract when they got married. Apparently Melinda was the one to actually file for divorce, asking a judge to enforce that contract.<\/p>\n<p>If you thought\u00a0<strong>Dr. Dre<\/strong>\u2018s divorce was going to be expensive, just wait until you hear these numbers\u2026<\/p>\n<p>As of February, Bill Gates was worth an estimated $137 BILLION \u2014 with a B. Can you imagine giving a big chunk of that away?? Though at least they have some practice giving away unimaginable sums of money with their charitable foundation, which has spent nearly $54 billion over the past two decades trying to help alleviate sickness and poverty around the world.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re being a bit glib, but seriously \u2014 these two have been working full-time the past few years as philanthropists. They spent the last year or so trying to help with the pandemic, getting a vaccine developed as quickly as possible and spread around the world. They spent a reported $1.75 billion on that alone! We guess we just thought all that good work would give them a peace of mind most of us aren\u2019t afforded.
