American billionaire Bill Gates has said that his divorce from Melinda took a toll on them.
He stated this in a recent interview with The Times of London.
The billionaire said that they were both miserable for at least two years with Melinda taking most of the parenting responsibilities since their divorce.
He said, “When Melinda and I met, I was fairly successful but not ridiculously successful — that came during the time that we were together. So, she saw me through a lot. When we got divorced it was tough and then she made the decision to leave the foundation.

“I was disappointed that she took the option to go off. I encouraged Melinda to be a little calmer than my mother was, but we were both quite driven. I spent more time with the kids than my dad did, but the ratio was still 10:1, with Melinda doing most things for the kids.
“We had a great time. I’m more cheerful now but divorce was the mistake I regret the most. There are others, but none that matter. The divorce thing was miserable for me and Melinda for at least two years.
“Melinda and I still spend time together as a family. We have three children and two grandchildren, so there are always family events. The kids are doing well and have strong values.”
