+1 Me too. Her kids all seem pretty functional--the eldest is a doctor. Melinda could have been a Lauren Sanchez and just hang around celebrities on a yacht all day. But she's gone to the poorest countries in the world and tried to help bring medicine and clean water. And I think her new org is focused specifically on helping poor women.

Wow, some of the posts here are totally bonkers. Melinda has been speaking out on behalf of the most vulnerable populations in the world for decades and she has sat for many, many interviews, so before you judge her, I recommend that you go on YouTube and listen to her first. She cares about providing free birth control to women in extremely impoverished areas and actually spends the money to make it happen. She is an amazing speaker and non-profit leader.

So much jealousy on dcum.

Charity begins at home and she has done nothing for American women. With her billions she could easily have a program to pay for travel to blue states for women in Red states with draconian abortion laws.

Its her choice who she gives her money to.

Of course it’s her choice where to donate her money, but…

IMHO it speaks volumes when American billionaires focus their philanthropy in Africa. It seems like they know they will be able to assert control and expect to be lionized/worshipped. Oprah sure did.

Totally plays into their white saviorism

What idiocy. A lot of diseases begin there and in poorer countries. So let that hit you in your selfish streak. It's unchristian to ignore the plight of those who have no health care and/or no food but you, it offends you. Tell us more about who you are.

There are quite a few homeless in the US, four insecurity, women without pre/post.natal,need help with safe child care. Take care at home before Africa.

You nailed it about what is needed stateside

That " bimbo" and "college dropout" are both more educated and successful than you will ever bem

I am seriously confused about the animosity expressed here about this woman. She's a rich lady who has given much of her wealth away to good causes around the world. She apparently raised her kids to be decent people. Why in the world has she earned any of this BS? There's some serious misogyny among DCUM posters. Did your mothers not love you enough?

Money doesn't cure heart-ache. It doesn't prevent stress and panic attacks. I know, I have millions but suffer from a panic disorder.

Also, did you know that Bill deeply regrets his divorce? Called it the worst mistake of his life.

This break-up was incredibly painful for both of them.

Have some dammed respect, OP.

Heart ache? lol. She married her billionaire boss. She was some dime a dozen MBA marketing bimbo at Microsoft. A gold digger.

She is far and more successful than you.

She made that billionaire and ten-billionaire.

OP is a misogynistic loser who thinks no one deserves love.

I don't feel bad for either of them. Get your shit together and move on. And by the way your kids are still damaged. No matter how much money you have. Congrats on being losers.

If you look closely you’ll see that Warren Buffet stepped away from him too.

Yes, and the fact that she’s not being honest about it and still protecting him is upsetting.

He's the father of her children. She's protecting them.

Haven't read all the responses, but she may help others with her openness. People think the rich have everything so easy. Many still yearn for true love, respect, loyalty and all those things you cannot purchase. She feels pain, betrayal, humiliation, disillusionment, despair just like the rest of us. The money is a major buffer because she can get the best help and care, but also she has to wonder if any friend or partner is with her for fame or true caring. I have empathy for her.

NP here, I understand that she made the decision to cover for his participation in sex trafficking and abuse of minors to protect her children. But the fact that she's covering this up *for any reason* means that she needs to sit down and shut up. She has no shame.

Keep on blaming the victim, guys. I hope you goons are men, but no one hates women quite like women hate women.

Oh stuff it. You are clueless. She can help where she wants and there is no comparison wrt to poverty in Africa vs the US.

+1 She can choose where to focus her funds, and there's more bang for the buck in poorer countries. Focus your ire on the Elon Musks of the world who are the richest people alive, but donate nothing to help other people and instead focus their energy on embedding their companies in government so the American taxpayer can make them richer.
