With the news that Bill and Melinda Gates are splitting up after 25 years of marriage, oddsmakers were quick to jump in and start taking bets on who Gates next girlfriend might be.
The child prodigy and Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg made the list at 25-1 odds, keeping in mind she's no longer a child per se. Thunberg is now 18.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that the couple began divorce proceedings two years ago after Melinda discovered that Gates had spent some time with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker of minors.
Melinda Gates had concerns about her husband's relationship with Epstein as far back as 2013, the former employee told the Journal. She met with divorce lawyers in 2019, saying at the time that her marriage was "irretrievably broken," according to the Journal's sources and documents that the newspaper reviewed.
Ann Winblad remains the favorite to become Gates new girlfriend at 3-1 odds. Thunberg actually does have the second shortest odds along with Shari Arison.
