Bill and Melinda Gates reportedly had an agreement that allowed him to see his ex-girlfriend for an annual weekend getaway.
Mr Gates had dated Ann Winblad, an American businesswoman, in the 1980s and entered into an arrangement with his wife, Melinda, that allowed him to spend a long weekend with her.
A 1997 Time profile by Walter Isaacson discusses his relationship with Ms Winblad and the extent of his involvement with her after his marriage with Melinda in 1994. The interview resurfaced after the multibillionaire philanthropist couple announced their decision to dissolve 27 years of marriage.
“Another of Gates’ vacation companions is Ann Winblad, the software entrepreneur and venture capitalist he dated during the 1980s,” Mr Isaacson wrote.
“They met in 1984 at a Ben Rosen-Esther Dyson computer conference and started going on ‘virtual dates’ by driving to the same movie at the same time in different cities and discussing it on their cell phones. For a few years she even persuaded him to stop eating meat, an experiment he has since resolutely abandoned.” more
Ester Rosenblatt!
Heh. This just gets better and better.
Well… That’s what the richest man in the world can get away with, I suppose.
Is studying about the birds and the bees considered to be science?
Ollie: Oh, it gets better: She is a founding partner of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners. Hahahaha

Seriously, would you let that Praying Mantis Fuck with Coke bottle glasses get on top of you for 30 minutes once a week?
I we’re betting on positions I’d put my money on doggie style so that they could both watch the computer at the same time!

KCIR: 100 billion dollars. They are already lining up.
They could discuss biology with and emphasis on the human reproductive system and how it actually functions at close range.
WOW, how convenient.
My guess is Bill could no longer tickle her fancy.
@Tony R
I get your point but Melinda gets half and doesn’t need the coin anymore.
@TRF
” watch the computer at the same time.” Hilarious!
Bill – “Hey Mel, it’s that time of the year for me to go talk “science” with my email buddy. Here’s a few $million to go splurge while I’m away…”
Cool! I can add scientist to my resume now.👍
He is a total nerd. Men have been doing this without permission for thousands of years. And getting away with it.
Damn! That’s the best a billionaire can do?
Bet he used that time to hang out at Orgy Island with Epstein
