Bill Gates reportedly seemed on the “verge of tears” when discussing his marriage with Melinda at a private Q&A session at an Allen & Co. “summer camp for billionaires” last week.
As the New York Post reports, an attendee claims Bill got emotional during an “off the record” Q&A session about climate change when CNBC host Becky Quick asked about his divorce and the future of his foundation.
“He fessed up to messing up,” the attendee said, adding that he did not use the word “affair.”
“He basically referred to the fact that it [the divorce] was his fault. He did seem a bit emotional about it. He might have been on the verge of tears.”
One attendee claimed that the Microsoft mastermind didn’t present himself kindly at the event and seemed “agitated” at times, adding that he brushed off some people who tried to speak with him.
“Bill Gates was pretty much a total a–hole,” the attendee said.
It’s been a couple months since Bill made major headlines when news of his divorce from Melinda after 27 years of marriage surfaced. Back in May, the tech giant reportedly transferred somewhere between $3 billion and $4 billion in shares to his former spouse, the Wall Street Journal reported.
