Bill Gates has revealed that he has no regrets about marrying Melinda Gates, despite the couple having gotten divorced.
Bill Gates Has No Regrets About Marrying Melinda Despite Their Divorce-‘It Was A Great Marriage’
A billionaire had been married to Melinda since 1994. And during that process, they managed to raise three children together: Jennifer, Rory and Phoebe.
While that may have been the case, their marriage did break down in May last year, which was certainly out of the blue. But now that some time has passed, Bill had nothing but good words to say about his experience.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, he said: “Every marriage as the kids leave the house will go through a transition. Mine sadly went through this transition called divorce.
“It was a great marriage. I wouldn’t have changed it. You know, I wouldn’t choose to marry someone else.” This begs the questions: Where does Bill go from here?
Well, he has recommended that marriage is something that is worth pursuing. But he stopped short of stating whether he would consider doing it once again.
This is highly understandable for the following reasons. First of all, prior to marrying Melinda, he had been dating her for a period of 7 years. Therefore, it was clear that he had managed to gain a lot of trust after knowing her for so long.
Secondly, given that Bill is one of the richest men in the world, he understandably has to guard against the fact that there may be people wanting to marry him in order to get a slice of the pie from a potential divorce.
But luckily for Bill, he did not face any problems in the way of money even if he did not sign a prenuptial agreement with Melinda. And by the looks of it, it was very amicable indeed.
He added: “We spent some time coming up with a fair settlement that we both signed. But neither of us was facing any real reduction in our consumption…We’re very lucky people.”
