According to a former employee of Microsoft, Bill Gates would often leave in a stunning golden-brown Porsche for undisclosed meet-ups with women during workdays.
The ex-staffer claimed that it was widely assumed within the office that when Gates departed in the luxurious car, he was off to rendezvous with other individuals.
Instead of driving his Porsche to work, Gates would reportedly arrive in a Mercedes and then have an employee fetch his sports car for him approximately an hour later.
This behavior led to speculation among colleagues that these outings were related to his personal affairs, as stated by the employee in an interview with Vanity Fair.
The informant revealed, “We all assumed that it was when he was with women,” implying that Gates’ unaccounted off-site meetings were a frequent occurrence not reflected on his schedule.
This revelation adds to the recent controversies surrounding the Microsoft co-founder following his divorce announcement from Melinda Gates earlier this year after 27 years of marriage.
Despite the rumors circulating about Gates using his Porsche for secretive liaisons, another source refuted these claims, describing him as an individual with an incredibly regimented schedule who never simply vanished from the workplace.
The spokesperson for Gates vehemently dismissed the allegations as mere unfounded gossip and conjecture.
Reports suggest that Bill and Melinda Gates had been leading separate lives for an extended period before officially ending their marriage in May.
The decision to part ways might have been influenced by various factors, including Melinda’s awareness of the rumors surrounding Gates’ activities at Microsoft and his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted s=x offender.
Melinda reportedly initiated legal proceedings in 2019 upon learning about her husband’s interactions with Epstein, which included private jet trips and social engagements.
Gates has consistently denied any knowledge of illicit behavior during his encounters with Epstein, expressing regret over their association.
In addition to these controversies, it was disclosed that Gates engaged in a romantic relationship with a Microsoft employee in 2000 that persisted for several years.
The woman involved reportedly addressed the affair in a letter to the company’s board in 2019, prompting an investigation that concluded the relationship was inappropriate.
This incident led to Gates’ departure from the board of Microsoft in March 2020, although his resignation was declared unrelated to the affair according to a spokesperson.
Instead, it was attributed to Gates’ desire to focus more on his philanthropic endeavors, a transition he had contemplated for several years prior to stepping down from his board position.
