Bill Gates and ex-wife Melinda's divorce was a very heavyweight news last year.
This year, Melinda accepted an exclusive interview with CBS TV in the United States, and everyone realized that the reason why the two's marriage ended was not as "decent" as Gates whitewashed.
She said that she had worked hard and wanted to live a lifetime with Bill. She endured it for a long time, but in the end she could no longer feel wronged.
In this "unhealthy relationship", she has been tortured. Divorce can finally help her get rid of such a predicament and be herself again.
In mid-October last year, Melinda and Gates were in the same frame for the first time at their eldest daughter Jennifer Catherine Gates wedding, and there was basically no interaction between the two.
Now that the two have parted ways, Melinda has ushered in her second spring.
Before, she said in an interview that she still believes in love and has already dated.
This aroused people's curiosity. Who could make the gentle Melinda secretly agree?
Her new date is Jon Du Pre, who worked as a reporter on Fox News Channel , and after retirement he became a strategic communication expert.
Jon is 68 years old this year, 10 years older than Melinda. He likes sports and his social media is full of photos of himself exercising. He was also called a "macho reporter" when reported by " Daily Mail ".
Jon has retired. He divorced his wife many years ago. They have three children, all of whom are raised by their ex-wife.
reported that Melinda and Jon have been dating for a long time.
They also watched basketball games in New York together in April this year, with Brooklyn Nets vs. Celtics .
At that time, Melinda's eldest daughter Jennifer Gates and Egyptian son-in-law Nayer Nassar also watched the game together.
If this seems, the relationship between the two should be very stable. After all, being able to openly enter the two sides is obviously blessed by their daughter and son-in-law.
How Melinda and Jon met is still unclear.
But it is reported that the two have been gathered with their respective family members several times, the most recent being in a five-star hotel in Newport Beach, California.
Under such a big news, the American media quickly dug Jon almost the same.
Jon University majored in broadcast journalism, minored in Italian language and literature, and is the largest private church university in the United States, Brigham Young University .
has been working in media since graduation. First he was an anchor of a small TV station, and later he switched to Fox News as a reporter. Because of his good appearance, he served as a reporter and later became a program producer.
He has worked in the media under the ABC and has worked hard in the media industry for more than 30 years and has a wide connection. Since June 2019, he has worked as a strategic communication expert in public relations companies.
, a reporter, is also very capable in writing and speaking. He has won the Emmy Awards and the and the Golden Mike Award, and is also well-known in the industry. And he also founded his own media company.
He also wrote a semi-autobiography called "The Prodigal Son Father", recalling the 20-year mental journey of being abandoned by the drunken father, which is "a story about how an American family turns its beautiful expectations into huge disappointment and then finally achieve spiritual victory."
The book's results are indeed pretty good, and it has been on the Amazon bestseller list for 8 consecutive weeks.
Jon is obviously two types of people and Bill Gates.
Bill Gates has always been a gentle and sensible technology tycoon style, and has basically not changed. In the past two years, my hair has become grayer and my belly has become more and more obvious.
Jon Dupree is a typical tough guy and macho man. He likes fitness and loves outdoor sports. His style is completely opposite to Gates. Conditions like
are quite good, but many netizens advised Melinda to "retreat" quickly and not be deceived by scumbags. Looking for a partner is still reliable.
You should know that the former richest man in the world Bezos 's ex-wife Mackenzie just divorced again in September this year, and broke up after getting married to that chemistry teacher for one year.
Netizens’ worries are not without reason. Jon eventually became a person like his scumbag father:
Jon’s ex-wife Gina Larson is both students of Brigham Young University, and they met in journalism class. Jon fell in love with Gina at first sight.
Blonde Gina looks beautiful and is a beautiful lady from the 1995 beauty pageant. She also participated in the Miss America competition in the second year, won awards in the talent segment and received thousands of dollars in scholarships.
Jon tried his best to catch Gina, and after graduation they got married.
Gina is also doing a pretty good job in her career. Like Jon, she started as a journalist, but she switched from the media industry to the computer software industry and worked as a senior account manager, and then worked at Adobe.
The two gave birth to two sons and one daughter one after another. Logically speaking, the wife is beautiful and capable, and the children are smart and cute. Such a family should be very happy, but they can't resist Jon's "work" and "scumbag".
He has a bad temper and insults his pregnant wife. He usually doesn't care about the children at all. He is also very selfish and stingy, and has a malignant criminal record of cheating.
In the end, Gina, who was unbearable, sued for divorce. The two did not reach an agreement on the issue of child support because Jon was too stingy and fought a lawsuit for 9 years.
How much does he care about it? Even a dentist bill requires a hearing to be held for judicial arbitration in the court.
Two sons graduated from Brigham Young University and their daughter graduated from the University of Utah. The eldest son said that the three brothers and sisters’ education for so many years all depended on their mothers, "due to her persistence, all three children finished college."
However, Jon is good at defending himself. He said that everything is a problem with his original family, and his irritability is related to his dark childhood growth experience.
He said that he is essentially a warm person who strives to keep the sun. The image he shows on social media is the same. He has a career, can also take care of his family, take care of his grandson, and enjoy the joy of family.
Last August, Melinda and Gates officially divorced, and the two shared a shared net worth of $130 billion. In addition, the five state real estate, art collections such as Da Vinci paintings, rare Porsche series expensive cars and multiple private jets are not included.
In 2000, Melinda and Bill Gates jointly established the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (hereinafter referred to as Gates Foundation ).
Although Melinda and Gates have divorced, she still manages the Gates Foundation permanently with Gates. Not only has money, but also has the right to decide the direction of charitable funds.
Although there is no more detailed about Melinda's net worth after the divorce, it is definitely much more than the $38 billion that Bezos's ex-wife.
is rich, leisure and ability. Melinda has many suitors after her divorce. She also revealed in the interview that there are many suitors, and she is "in good condition and is definitely willing to look for true love again."
It is estimated that Jon Dupree is her true love.
may also be that his marriage to Bill Gates is worse than expected. In comparison, Jon is already a good choice;
or Melinda, who has seen strong winds and waves and is rich enough, doesn't care about bread at all and only love...
Anyway, Melinda did not react to netizens' persuasion, but just posted mountaineering photos taken at almost the same place as Jon on social media:
No matter what, Melinda always looks up at the moon. We still focus on running for sixpence and just take a look at gossip occasionally.
