Messy Dispute Likely Over Sharing Of Bill, Melinda Gates’ $130b Without Pre-nuptial Deal

Messy Dispute Likely Over Sharing Of Bill, Melinda Gates’ $130b Without Pre-nuptial Deal

How Bill and Melinda Gates will share a combined net worth of $130 billion assets while they purportedly lack a pre-nuptial agreement is likely to trigger a messy dispute between the divorcing couple.

Gates, the world’s fourth-richest man, has spoken in the past about how each of his three children will only inherit about $10 million of his fortune.

When asked about rumours that he would only leave his three children — Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe — $10million each during a Reddit AMA session in 2013, Gates explained that it was for their benefit.

“I definitely think leaving kids massive amounts of money is not a favor to them,” he said.

He and Melinda share three children and founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000 to address several major global issues.

The couple has donated $45billion through the foundation since its inception, including $1.75 billion to fighting Covid-19.

Bill Gates, 65, was a geeky teenager when he started what would become the world’s most valuable company, and was for a time the world’s richest man and most prominent philanthropist.

He stepped down as Microsoft chief executive in 2008 to devote more time to philanthropy and later left the board, keeping only the title of “founder.”

Melinda Gates, 56, met Bill at Microsoft in 1987, shortly after she joined the tech firm, and the pair married in 1994.

In a 2019 Netflix documentary series, he described his wife as “truly an equal partner,” while she looked back on some of their first interactions to call him “funny and very high-energy.”

Their foundation is among the world’s richest, having provided more than $54 billion in grants over two decades in areas including malaria and infectious disease control, agricultural research, basic health care and sanitation in various parts of the world. It has an endowment of more than $46 billion.

The couple’s divorce could create new questions about their wealth, most of which has yet to be donated to their foundation, despite co-creating the Giving Pledge, which encourages billionaires to give the majority of their wealth to charity.

In recent years, Bill Gates has largely distanced himself from Microsoft and the tech industry, instead speaking about poverty and health initiatives, and the coronavirus pandemic.

Last year, the foundation pledged some $250 million to help fight the pandemic, with some of the funds channelled to the distribution of life-saving doses of Covid-19 vaccines to parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Gates, who had been warning as early as 2015 about the potential dangers of a global pandemic, became the target of conspiracy theorists who claimed he knew in advance about Covid-19.

Mike Bamiloye Hits Hard At Nollywood Actors

By John Michael Ojo
Veteran movie producer and actor, Mike Bamiloye has raised concern over the alarming rate of nudity among actors and actresses in  Nigerian home videos.

The Mount Zion Ministries founder who expressed worry  following the recent release of ‘Shanty Town’, where actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo popularly known as RMD and Nancy Isime played a role which many have described to be in contrast with the Nigeria Censored Board, urged filmmakers to be cautious of the role they play as it can have a negative impact on their immediate families and the society at large.

Taking to his Instagram account on Thursday, Bamiloye wrote:

“HEAR ME, ACTORS AND ACTRESSES!

Phyno Reveal The Difference Between Polygamy, Baby Mamas

By John Michael Ojo
Popular award-winning Nigerian rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike better known professionally as Phyno, has stated that there is a wide margin between those who practice polygamy and those who unintentionally have children out of wedlock.

Phyno disclosed this in a recent interview with a local news outlet where he said polygamy is when one decides to legally marry a second wife while referring to  ‘situation’ as home breaking.

The ‘Fada Fada’ crooner, added that celebrities are often misjudged when they have children out of wedlock as most people see such celebrities as polygamists.

Phyno however encouraged those who have been caught in the web of  ‘situation’ to own up and take full responsibility for the child/children involved.

He said; “Homes breaking is not polygamy, polygamy is when someone willingly says ‘I’m going to marry two wives,’ some people are caught in a situation and you can’t call that polygamy.  So, let’s be clear, Muslims practice polygamy.

“It can happen to you; it can happen to anyone. If you are caught in a situation, you have to stand up as a man and take responsibility for your child, you can’t call that polygamy. We always have to be clear on this because people come out to this.

“Polygamy is when I say I’m going to marry more than one wife, that’s polygamy. Situation happens to people and they are always unplanned, you called that polygamy.”
