Bill and Melinda Gates – Estimated $65.25 Billion

Bill Gates is famous for being the founder of the computer software company Microsoft. His software, Windows, is responsible for making computers a household item and turning them into multimedia devices. But behind a lot of that success was Melinda Gates, who worked in marketing for the company.

She did work on popular programs such as publisher, Encarta, and Office. The couple married in 1994, and she eventually retired to take care of her family full time. Together they co-founded the world’s largest charity organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Their divorce was finalized in 2021, with Melinda citing Bill’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted s*x offender.
