In a New York Times opinion piece, Melinda said that she's leaving the foundation she co-founded nearly 20 years ago to focus on gender equality. 'In nearly 20 years as an advocate for women and girls, I have learned that there will always be people who say it's not the right time to talk about gender equality,' she wrote. 'Not if you want to be relevant. Not if you want to be effective with world leaders (most of them men). The second the global agenda gets crowded, women and girls fall off.'

The 59-year-old said the move was part of her transition to 'the next chapter of my philanthropy' in a statement posted on X.

Melinda French Gates, 58, and Bill Gates announced their divorce in August 2021 and said they would continue to work at their joint foundation for two years. She has now decided to continue. A Gates Foundation spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal on Friday that she had decided to continue working within the organization. The decision by French Gates was expected: Mark Suzman, the Gates Foundation's CEO, said in June that Bill and Melinda are "fully committed to the foundation as they always have been and will continue to be." 'Any major decision is made by both co-chairs and will continue to be so,' he said.' She said she had no intention of returning in September last year.

Jennifer, 26, reported the birth of her first child - a baby girl whose name has not been revealed - along with her partner, Olympic showjumper Nayel Nassar - over the weekend. And though the current member of the Gates family's fortune has a whopping net worth of $107 billion, it's likely that she will not be getting much of the Microsoft founder's fame, and that even once promised to help the homeless rather than his own children. When raising their children, Bill and his ex-wife, Melinda Gates, who died in May 2021 after 27 years of marriage, did their best to give their three children, Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe, a normal childhood, causing many to wonder if Jennifer will take the same approach with her daughter. And despite Bill's pledged that his children will'create their own path' and that they won't get a cut of his billions, they have certainly benefited from being a member of the wealthy family. Jennifer, who is now attending an advanced education, not one, but two luxurious homes over the years, including a $16 million horse farm in upstate New York and a $51 million penthouse apartment in Manhattan, were both gifted last year, and she had a $2 million, multi-day wedding last year. FEMAIL has taken a look inside Jennifer's glamorous life, despite Bill's continued assertion that his offspring must forge their own way, and she has detailed what that entails for her newborn baby.
