Every year, Bill Gates went on vacation with his ex-girlfriend with his wife's full permission

Bill and Melinda Gates during their marriage had an agreement that allowed the billionaire to go on a holiday every year with their ex-girlfriend.

What is this about? Once, Bill Gates had a romance with Ann Winblad, an American entrepreneur in 1980. From that time on, he reached an agreement with his wife, Melinda, who allowed him to spend a long weekend with her even after the relationship ended.

Bill and Ann, the old girlfriend met in 1984 and at the beginning of love, their meetings were virtual. They watched the same film in different cities in the world at the same time and then discussed it on the phone. In fact, for a number of years she asked the billionaire to give up meat, an experiment that has been carefully convinced.

They broke up in 1987 after Ann, five years older than he was about to get married. Still, they decided to remain close friends at that time. Following that decision, Gates reportedly made a pact with his wife so that his tradition of old love would follow.

Every spring for more than a decade, Gates spent a long weekend on beach with the former partner. Despite the conclusion of the romance, the former president had much to discuss about everything happening in the world.

Even before Bill and Melinda got married, it was the youth partner who gave the approval for the billionaire to propose to the future woman.

When I thought about marrying Melinda, I called Ann and asked for her approval. ”- Gates said during an interview years ago, stressing how important her thoughts and support were in the decisions he made.

Meanwhile, Bill and Melinda Gates ended their marriage after 27 years together. According to them, the divorce came after they believed that no “could grow any longer as pairs”.
