They filed for divorce on May 3 after 27 years of marriage but vouched to continue their charitable work together. They both said that they had agreed on how to divide their marital assets.

The court did not issue money, property or spousal support decision in the divorce. It said the couple must follow the terms of the divorce contract. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has become one of the most potent and essential trusts in global public health by spending more than $50 billion to fight poverty and diseases. The Gates have supported massive programs like malaria and polio eradication, child nutrition and coronavirus vaccines. The foundation last year committed about $1.75 billion to Covid-19 relief.
