A recent report from the Wall Street Journal has brought to light a scandalous affair involving Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and the notorious figure Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the report, the billionaire entrepreneur engaged in a romantic relationship with a young Russian bridge player named Mila Antonova back in 2010, while he was still married to Melinda Gates, his partner from 1994 until 2021.
The affair between Gates and Antonova allegedly began around 2010, sparked by their mutual interest in the card game bridge.

The nature of any further communication between Gates and Epstein remains undisclosed.
Epstein’s connections with JPMorgan have come under scrutiny amidst an ongoing legal battle.
Allegations suggest that he misrepresented his ties with Gates to executives at JPMorgan, aiming to portray a close personal bond.

His passing left behind a legacy overshadowed by accusations of misconduct and human trafficking, culminating in his associate Ghislaine Maxwell receiving a 20-year prison sentence in 2022.
