Bill Gates spent years crafting an image of himself as a philanthropist who was more concerned with the future of the human race than his multibillion-dollar business empire.
But as Gates’ relationship with Jeffrey Epstein came under closer scrutiny, that image began to crumble.
While the tech mogul insists that their relationship was strictly professional and that he maintained strict ethical standards throughout his career, it was recently revealed that Gates has been serially unfaithful to his wife.
In February, we learned he cheated on Melinda Gates with two Russian women, and a new report suggests he may have been involved in several other affairs as well.
News of Gates’ alleged infidelity comes as a courtesy the Wall Street Journal.
“In a February town hall with foundation staff, Gates had as many as two relationships with Russian women referenced in Epstein’s emails,” he said, adding:
“Some people familiar with the matter said they heard about his admission to employees in disbelief: In his divorce proceedings, allegations of more than 20 affairs surfaced.”
Bill and Melinda ended their marriage in August 2021. It should be noted that we have no way of knowing whether the affair allegations made during their divorce have ever been proven.
The report also contradicts Gates’ previous claim that his relationship with Epstein had nothing to do with the numerous women the financier surrounded himself with (often against their will).
“Epstein traveled with Gates and introduced him to the chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize committee.” magazine He claims adding:
“Epstein participated in negotiations between Gates’ employees and Gates himself, and Gates took photographs with Epstein and the women around him before or after some of their meetings.”
In July, Gates will testify before Congress about his relationship with Epstein.
Before testifying, Gates’ spokesman revealed that the Microsoft founder regretted the “mistake” of spending so much time with Epstein, but that he was not involved in any illegal activity:
“Gates has apologized for the error and is voluntarily speaking with the House Oversight Committee early next month to answer questions about his interactions with Epstein,” the spokesperson claimed, adding that “Gates supports the release of all Epstein files in hopes that victims will receive the justice they deserve.”
Gates has already earned the right to testify off camera. But despite this, it probably won’t do any wonders for his ruined reputation.
