\nAt the top of Bill Gates\u2019s list of regrets sits his divorce with Melinda French Gates and the circumstances surrounding it \u2014 but netizens are showing him no mercy.\n
The Former CEO of Microsoft opened up in an interview with The Sunday Times this past weekend and said that while he is \u201cmore cheerful now,\u201d the unraveling of his 2021 separation with his ex-wife will continue to haunt him.\n
Bill Gates claims his divorce with ex-wife Melinda is at the mistake he regrets the most\n
\u201cThat was the mistake I most regret,\u201d he admitted. And though there have been other decisions he isn\u2019t particularly proud of, their break-up is \u201cat the top of the list.\u201d\n
\n
\u201cThere are others but none that matter,\u201d Gates continued. \u201cThe divorce thing was miserable for me and Melinda for at least two years.\u201d\n
The billionaire never gave a solid reason on why he and his former wife separated, but he did confess in 2021 that he\u2019d had an affair with an employee during his marriage.\n
Still, he and his wife \u2014 who are both seeing other people now \u2014 seem to maintain a somewhat friendly relationship with one another.\n
\u201cMelinda and I still see each other \u2014 we have three kids and two grandchildren so there are family events,\u201d he said. \u201cThe kids are doing well. They have good values.\u201d\n
But while the philanthropist seems to have cleared her ex-husband from her immediate hit list, users on the Internet weren\u2019t so forgiving.\n
