Billionaire Bill Gates first admitted to causing pain to his family

“I certainly made a mistake and I take responsibility. I don’t think it’s appropriate to go into the details at this point, but yes, I caused pain and I feel terrible,” – Bill Gates said.

The 66-year-old Microsoft co-founder said he and his ex-wife still work at the charity, but he said the divorce was “sad and tragic”. When asked what he learned from that experience, Bill Gates balked for a moment, then said that his expertise is on topics like climate change and health. On personal matters, he admits: “I don’t have great advice for other people.”

Responding to his feelings while watching his ex-wife’s interview with CBS News last month, in which Melinda said she sometimes “layed on the floor crying” during her marriage, the billionaire said: “This is this a difficult thing. We have so many wonderful things in this marriage: children, charity and joy. And so it’s very difficult to adapt. I know divorce is a completely different thing, a complete change. We used to be a couple, grew up together, and now it’s different.”

Also in her interview, Melinda Gates revealed that her husband’s affair with financier Jeffrey Epstein – a convicted sex offender – was one of the reasons for the divorce.

“I have a goal to donate to global health. I didn’t realize that meeting with him was almost downplaying the incredibly horrible things he’s done,” Gates said.

According to RT, Bill Gates conducted the interview to promote his new book, titled “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.” According to Bill Gates, “informed misinformation” has killed many Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also finds it difficult to understand why he has become the target of conspiracy theories after supporting a life-saving vaccine.
