When your closest colleague is also your husband

Melinda Gates reflects on her partnership with Bill.

who's here after the divorce news?

[marilynkozlow]

Never know what goes on behind closed doors. No truer words spoken.

[diazjose]

You guys should just come out of the closet

[Phlegethon]

The attention is focused on Bill because you didn't ... actually nevermind.

[spendlub]

Who is here after divorce?? Like here.

[ninyabeans]

my phoney baloney radar goes off everytime I hear Melinda speak, It seems disingenuous. She is so off, Bill gives me the creeps. I keep trying to give them the benefit of the however everything seems rehearsed.

She rejected him initially, then he came back.... should've seen that as a sign from the beginning

[amyjkr]

I love their connection and teamwork. It is beautiful to see any couple working with such passion towards the same goals. It is even more impressive to see a woman who holds her own, and even sometimes seems to exceed the capabilities of one the richest men in the world, and how when they speak together he always looks at her, yields to her, and doesn't only "allow" her to have a voice, but respects and values her. We all know he could have some super-model, or a slew of supermodels, but there is the real genius of Bill Gates--he picked an awesome wife instead of a tool. I am writing this on a Mac, only have Apple devices, and still, Bill and Melinda Gates are two of my favorite people. Both of them are amazing and beautiful people with true intelligence.

she really doesn't come across as smart to me. She's more someone that is continuously fishing for attention and has therefore a very low self-esteem.

[kristifisher]

two dudes who know their time is coming to an end!

[hurd_]

They're super rich, but look very humble at the same time. And are doing good in this world.

[dashyasin]

Behind every successful man is a great woman who supports him.

[fisherpeace]

Everything has a beginning and an ending, no matter how great it is. I would be sad or cynical about their divorce in my 20s or 30s, but now I feel peaceful because I know they will continue making the world a better place.

[superapex]

Of course you realize owls are birds of prey who hunt in the dark where no one can see them coming.
I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

[SaintTrinianz]

A shared vision, like Jeffrey and Gislane had a shared vision...

[marshallkeren]

Who’s come here after hear their divorce?

[anthonysoto]

Still trying to find a picture of you pregnant Melinda. Nothing.

[riri]

Wow I read the title as _"When your CLOSETED colleague is also your Husband"_ I was like huh ? bill gates? !!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[izakmizrahi]

The focus was on Bill, because HE co-founded Microsoft. Not you. The foundation is HIS money.

[dmiariana]

"This is a sculpture that Bill's parents gave us"... Right, totally normal.
