Bloomberg delists Bill Gates from billionaire index after divorce

Bloomberg has delisted Bill Gates, one of the world’s richest men, from its billionaire index, after the announcement of a divorce from Melinda Gates.

In 1987, an unmarried Gates became the youngest American Billionaire, a record he held until the Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, joined the billionaire list in 2007.

Gates got married to Melinda in 1994, after Bill was already named the richest man in America. They have three children together.

Forbes’ real-time billionaire list still has Gates at number four with a wealth of $130 billion.

The divorce is expected to affect their wealth, but the extent to which this will happen is yet to be known.

Bill had previously said Melinda is a “truly equal partner”.
