A new book claims that Bill Gates’ intense work ethic and intimidating presence have fostered a culture of fear among employees at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The book, “Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World,” describes meetings with Gates as akin to a king holding court, with employees fearing his scrutiny and questioning. While Gates Ventures has dismissed the allegations, the book has raised concerns about the foundation’s work environment.
Melinda French Gates, the former wife of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, has refuted rumors that she is engaged to Jon Du Pre, a former Fox News correspondent. A spokesperson for Melinda Gates has confirmed that she is not engaged and is no longer seeing Du Pre. The rumors emerged after the couple was spotted together at several events, including a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics in November 2022. However, a recent photo of Melinda Gates wearing a diamond ring sparked speculation that she may be engaged. The spokesperson’s denial has put these rumors to rest.
