Ammon News - Bill Gates said divorcing his wife Melinda is the 'biggest regret' of his life in a rare, candid interview.

The billionaire Microsoft co-founder, 69, admitted his 2021 divorce with his wife of 27 years is 'at the top of the list' of his failures during a interview with the Times of London, published on Saturday.

'That was the mistake I most regret... there are others, but none that matter. The divorce thing was miserable for me and Melinda for at least two years,' he said.

His marriage, he said, had kept 'grounded' as he brought his now trillion-dollar company to life.

The pair are now amicable, but rumors of infidelity plagued Bill in the immediate aftermath of the divorce announcement.

'I certainly made mistakes, and I take responsibility,' he said in 2023, without expanding.

Bill said they see each other often at family events and gatherings of that nature as they share three kids, Jennifer, 28, Rory, 25, and Phoebe, 22, and two grandchildren. Daily Mail
