Bill Gates & Melinda Gates – 26 Years

Bill Gates isn’t just rich; his wealth is constantly multiplying. As a matter of fact, he’s getting richer right now, just sitting around being retired. He may not be the richest man in the world, with Amazon’s Jeff Bezos stealing the top spot, but he’s comfortably rich and will be for quite a few lifetimes.

His wife, Melinda, was a key part of that wealth, marketing some high-profit products, including Encarta, Publisher, and Word. She left in 1996 to focus on her family with Bill after getting married in 1994. These days they’re putting their effort and money into the most extensive private charitable organization called the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation.
