I'm sure adrenochrome is a hell of a drug, this can't be the first happy marriage its ruined. Prayers for the happy coupleShe probably caught him eating the babies
The queen would never go for a new money peasant like ole Billy.no, that's not it. think about it: the Queen of England becomes a widow a few weeks ago and now she's back on the market. Gates then dumps his wife. Coincidence? I think not.
The Gates bought Jenny Craigs' estate and stables in Rancho Santa Fe to support their daughter's equestrian pursuits. They also just bought a big pad on the beach in Del Mar off T-Boone for $48 mil. That's some nice digs to have to split up.i have read that neither were allowed social media in high school and had limited access to devices in general.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs raised their kids with limited tech — and it should have been a red flag about our own smartphone use
The attitudes of Silicon Valley's power players to how their kids interact with tech suggest smartphone use should've been regulated a decade ago.www.businessinsider.com
Divorce cases are almost never handled on a contingent fee basis, but I guess there could be an exception. The Gates would be complete idiots to enter into such an agreement, when there are plenty of lawyers out there who would gladly take it on an hourly basis.Usually the lawyers get a third, right? Billionaires tend to squirrel-away most of their wealth in nonprofits so that on paper they're worth much less.
I wonder what Bill would do for security there.Gates' house in Del Mar looks pretty nice for a big house. Usually McMansions look like sh!t. Would be a chill pad to own.
Dr. Drew's documentary on the divorce industry said that the hourly lawyers simply drag things out ad infinitum until they've siphoned off about that much. I've heard this from every guy who got divorced.Divorce cases are almost never handled on a contingent fee basis, but I guess there could be an exception.

I've heard the same thing, and seen it first hand with friends. Divorces that drag out for years and lawyers milking both parties for tons of money. It's a broken divorce system for sure.Dr. Drew's documentary on the divorce industry said that the hourly lawyers simply drag things out ad infinitum until they've siphoned off about that much. I've heard this from every guy who got divorced.
I also think divorce attorneys turn their clients against eachother for personal gain.I've heard horror stories about divorce lawyers milking people too, but it seems like the thing that drives that is mutual spite from the parties to fight for every little thing -- the raw emotion you'd get from an actual relationship breaking up. I'd be willing to bet that the gates have been basically just a corporate partnership for a while.
