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.
