They opened the online flood-Gates.

When Bill and Melinda Gates announced they were getting divorced Monday, the ever-sympathetic social-media masses were quick to pay their respects — with a tsunami of mocking memes.

The philanthropist couple had tweeted the shocking news in a joint statement on their separate accounts yesterday afternoon.

“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” they wrote.

The announcement concluded, “We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”

  1. I wonder if Melinda gates will continue her philanthropy with her 65 billion settlement.

  2. I hope he tells all…and by "he" I mean Bill's ex. Let us all know what this corrupt sack of garbage is up to with these vaccinations.

  3. They will go before a judge for their divorces but soon it will be for crime against humanity and the Nuremberg Code

  4. I don't have to know or like someone, to know that no matter how rich you are other people's personal pain is nothing to laugh at

  5. Somehow we don't seem to believe anything on NY Post. For sure we don't believe or trust Gates duo.

  6. 7 out of the 10 richest men in the world have been recently divorced. The message is clear , even if you’re a billionaire, you’re still not safe from a woman walking away with half of your asset ( whenever she feels like it ) by divorcing you that’s why I’ll never marry especially NOT a western woman.

  7. hi felt bad about the gates divorcee. but it's the 21 St century Bill n Melinda must go separate ways so both can b happy. Bill can go his girlfriend. n she can find some 1.its ok they want to b happy go for it.
