Bill Gates, Microsoft founder, has sent $7.88 billion to his ex-wife Melinda’s charity as part of their divorce settlement.
A review of tax filings published in New York Times shows the donation was made in 2024 to Pivotal Philanthropies Foundation, the nonprofit Melinda launched after the separation.
Following Bill and Melinda’s divorce in 2021, Melinda resigned from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in May 2024.
The couple had founded the nonprofit in 2000 to address global poverty and disease.
