However, Bill decided last year to resign from Microsoft’s board of directors to devote himself to philanthropic activities. In fact, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation deals with education, health and climate change. Consider that the couple invested more than 36 billion dollars between 1994 and 2018.

Melinda said some time ago that working together for their foundation had helped to consolidate the relationship itself. But today both believe that they can no longer grow further as a couple. However, they state that they will continue to work together.
