News about Mark Hurd

The ceremony brought together Microsoft co-founder Gates, tech mogul Elon Musk, and Hollywood's A-list, including Kim Kardashian, Margot Robbie, and Olivia Wilde. Gates arrived at the ceremony accompanied by Hurd, a philanthropist who was married to Mark Hurd for 30 years until his passing in 2019. Musk, clad in a classic suit with a bow tie, struck a whacky pose for photos, throwing his hands in the air and looking upward. The glittering event, held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California, celebrates major scientific achievements of the year.

Following the news that the Microsoft founder was dating Paula Hurd, the widow of former Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, Bill Gates could be walking into a family that is as complicated as his own.

After publication of this article that the Microsoft founder was dating Paula Hurd, the widow of former Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, Bill Gates could be walking into a family that is as complicated as his own. Now, DailyMail.com has learned that Kathryn Hurd, one of Paula's daughters, and her other daughter, Kelly, have married into a political-connected family with deep ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Mark Hurd was forced to step down as CEO of Hewlett-Packard after he was discovered to have had a two-year relationship with a company consultant named Jodie Fisher in 2010. Fisher later paid over $1 million to cover sexual harassment claims. Gates' budding romance with the widow comes two years after his divorce from Melinda French Gates in 2021 after 34 years together and 27 years of marriage. According to People Magazine, his new mother has yet to meet any of Gates' children. Former billionaire and mother to his children spoke out about her 'unbelievably painful' divorce, revealing that she 'just couldn't stay in that marriage anymore.' Paula and Mark Hurd were married for almost 30 years before he died of cancer in 2019.

Bill Gates, 67, seems to have won a love match with fellow tennis fan Paula Hurd (pictured together at a tournament left), according to DailyMail.com. Hurd is the widow of former Oracle co-CEO and president Mark Hurd, who died at the age of 62 in 2019. It's no surprise that the paths of the Microsoft founder and Oracle executive's wife and others have changed over the years. At a tennis match in California in 2015, Mark, a former college tennis scholar, and Paula were even photographed behind Gates (top right). Paula, who started as a tech executive herself, now acts as a planner and promoter for corporate and philanthropic functions. At the time of his death, her husband, who spent the majority of his career at NCR and then Hewlett-Packard before Oracle, had an estimated net worth of $500 million.
