Reports have surfaced suggesting that Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, allegedly used a unique method involving a Porsche to secretly meet with women, as disclosed by staff members.
The 65-year-old tech mogul recently made headlines with his announcement of divorcing his wife of 27 years, Melinda French Gates, on May 4.
According to sources cited in Vanity Fair, rumors of Gates’ infidelity have circulated for years, with claims that he would discreetly switch cars – opting for a golden brown Porsche brought in by an assistant – possibly to evade detection while meeting with other women.
This clandestine behavior at the workplace has raised eyebrows among Microsoft employees who suspected his off-the-record rendezvous with unknown parties.
The billionaire’s public appearances have been scarce since the divorce announcement, adding fuel to the speculations surrounding his personal life.
However, recent sightings of Gates dining at Nobu restaurant in Manhattan with his daughter Phoebe and her boyfriend shed light on his low-key lifestyle away from the spotlight.
Gates, known for his passion for collecting cars, particularly Porsches, has a history of owning exclusive models like the Porsche Taycan, a recent addition to his impressive car collection.
Despite claims of using the Porsche for secretive meetings, some colleagues defended Gates, emphasizing his meticulous scheduling habits and intense work ethic that divided his time into precise five-minute blocks.
In a surprising turn of events, reports emerged that Melinda French Gates had allegedly hired a private investigator to delve into her estranged husband’s activities, hinting at potential legal implications in their ongoing divorce proceedings.
While a spokesperson for Melinda denied these claims, the revelations about Gates’ past interactions with female employees during his tenure at Microsoft have resurfaced, prompting a closer examination of his conduct.
The New York Times previously reported instances where Gates allegedly pursued romantic relationships with female subordinates, leading to internal investigations and eventual board-level scrutiny of his behavior.
Following these controversies, Gates resigned from the Microsoft board in 2020, citing unrelated reasons for his departure amid mounting public scrutiny.
As the divorce saga unfolds, Melinda’s decision to seek legal counsel following revelations of Gates’ connections with Jeffrey Epstein and financial controversies involving his money manager further complicates the already intricate narrative surrounding the high-profile split.
The Gateses’ substantial wealth and influence only add to the intrigue surrounding their personal lives and professional dealings, captivating audiences worldwide.
