“Bill and Melinda Gates are ending their marriage after 27 years, the pair announced in a statement on their verified Twitter accounts.

"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage," the statement reads.

The couple founded their philanthropic organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, together in 2000. Since then, the foundation has spent $53.8 billion on a wide range of initiatives related to global health, poverty alleviation and more, according to its website.“

1. I feel sorry for them...

...it's clear that Melinda had massively positive effects on Bill over the years, and further that he was a loyal husband. He wasn't sleeping around on her like Bezos did to his wife.

People can grow apart without even realizing it.
