Melinda Gates could be angling to
change kids’ $10M inheritance in split

Original Article

Maybe those poor Gates kids are getting more than $10 million after all. Divorce experts say there’s a clue in Melinda Gates’ blockbuster divorce filing that she’s angling to change her three children’s inheritance — after her estranged husband, Bill Gates, has repeatedly said he’s leaving them a mere $10 million apiece. Melinda has taken the highly unusual step — according to experts — of naming top trust and estate lawyers as her representatives in her divorce filing, along with the customary matrimonial legal eagles.

Hey, I'm not taking up for poor ol' Bill, but I'd say mommy can leave the little darlings as much as she wants out of her ginormous cut.

Greed, feminism, adultery, selfishness, and a total lack of faith in God -- gee, I can't imagine why they are ending up in what will be a very messy and nasty divorce. Oh wait, yes I can: Greed, feminism, adultery, selfishness, and a total lack of faith in God. I have never been able to stand Bill Gates. But I think he didn't even take it far enough with his kids. They should get $0 for a "guaranteed" inheritance. They should have to work for everything they get in this life. Then, if he sees that they have become good and responsible adults, he can leave them what he wants in an inheritance. Otherwise, he is going to have spoiled -- and probably drug addicted -- useless adults just waiting for him to die to waste his money as fast as they can. See Hunter biden for a perfect example...

This would be another way to stick it to Bill. I'm sure she'll be doing other things to stick it to him also.

Well who else does he want to leave his money to? I don't understand how enormously wealthy people brag they aren't leaving their kids anything. Why not?

How are the kids going to make it on only $10mil each ? ; that is double what a working stiff makes at $100K per year for 50 years. What a crock of nonsense. This garbage belongs at the supermarket checkout. With that amount of money, they would never have to work if they did not wish to. A 2% CD earns $200K annually.

What's Gates net worth, about 70 billion? While the world doesn't need any more spoiled rich kids, leaving ten million to each kid does seem like a stab in the back. If this is Gate's idea of not spoiling the kids, and making them go get a job, 10 million each isn't going to do it. Leave them ten bucks. That will instill a work ethic in them, but #1 is right. Mom is in line to get probably 30 to 40 billion. She can take care of the little darlings with that amount of cash.

Mom can do what she wants with her cut of Bill's money. Bill can do what he wants with his cut of his money (but $10 million does seem a little skimpy). People need to remember, it is the parents money, not the kids. While I would like to leave all of my money to my kids, they will only get it if I feel they will be responsible with it and deserve it.

Trump's father *loaned* him $1M to get started in business, which he turned into a reported $4B through his own efforts. Yeah, $1M is a good head start but if he had been a spoiled rich kid, sat on his butt and spent it over time, his would have had a much less opulent life style, to say the least. He built his fortune through hard work. In today's much inflated dollars, $10m probably isn't far from Trump's stake in value. By giving his kids $10m instead of $10B, he's saying if you want to be worth billions, you're going to have to work for it. So saddle up, kids.

Totally on Melinda's side. Over the years having a job where I interacted with some employees, I heard many stories. He has treated some just horribly in front of their peers. I'm not at all a fan. Doing good works overseas is great, but I think he should look at fixing our homeless problems first, and Seattle certainly has a problem. And working on drug prices for our elderly would be helpful. Get every penny you can Melinda. For kids who have lived in a family with billions, $10million is a cheap pittance. I'd expect that from Bill, but now they will have Melinda.

Friend from graduate school became a lawyer. He handled lots of divorce cases, usually representing the woman. He said there were two constants that he saw in his practice. First was that he believed he could have had sex with every woman he represented. Second was that the settlement was never enough for the woman. Interestingly enough, my friend put his wife through law school, and when she finished, she filed for divorce. When I said, 'at least with two lawyers, you should be able to work things out quite easily.' He laughed, and said she had hired the biggest divorce lawyer in the region, and he was hiring a divorce lawyer from NYC. It was a nasty event. But he won custody of their two children and their two Labrador Retrievers.

A measly $10 mil apiece? Indeed, the rich are not like us. They live in such a rarified atmosphere; enormous sums of money means little to them. It’s all according to what they’re accustomed to, I guess. I do not relate to that at all.

Joe Biden once again lied about his great-grandfather being a coal miner.78-year-old Joe Biden traveled to Dearborn, Michigan on Tuesday to visit the Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center. Biden promoted his highly unpopular $2 trillion infrastructure bill that has nothing to do with infrastructure that includes $174 billion to develop electric vehicles. At one point Joe Biden repeated the lie that his “great grandpop” was a coal miner. None of Biden’s great grandfathers were coal miners.

Typically, news organizations rush to cover crises, real or perceived. The Associated Press has taken a different tack, using its influential style guide to play down the human drama unfolding at the southern border.While internal Customs and Border Protection documents repeatedly refer to an immigration "surge" at the border, according to records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, the AP recommends journalists no longer use such descriptions to avoid offense and maintain supposed "neutrality." Other documents, circulated internally throughout Customs and Border Protection in May, instruct officials on processing "the surge of undocumented individuals as efficiently as possible."

U.S. airlines may begin weighing passengers at gates for flights involving smaller aircraft in order to comply with new Federal Aviation Administration rules aimed at addressing the reality that Americans are getting fatter, according to an industry website.“For safety reasons, carriers need to calculate an aircraft’s weight and balance, and it has to be within allowable limits for the plane,” View From The Wing reported last week. “However the assumptions they’ve been using for passengers are outdated. Americans are getting fatter, and the federal government wants airlines to find out how much fatter their passengers have gotten, at least for smaller aircraft.”

This is only the first shoe dropping. It will soon be followed by the realization of the role the NeverTrumpers have played in shackling the country and the Western world to the unfolding disaster of the Biden presidency.

On a show appropriately called the "Armchair Expert," Harry declared the First Amendment "bonkers" and expressed frustration about how it protects the media in its "feeding frenzy" over his life. Harry’s criticism of the First Amendment can be dismissed as the unfamiliarity of a royal refugee. However, it is actually far more serious than that. Harry and his American wife Meghan Markle have attacked media rights in England and succeeded under the laws of the United Kingdom. They are now joining a growing anti-free speech movement

For decades engineers have used petroleum to make everyday products. It's still commonly used in everything from rubbers and plastics to chemicals and asphalt. But this useful product comes from crude oil, which is often criticized by activists and experts as harmful to the environment, citing oil spills and fracking incidents. Recent studies from the last decade have shown that petroleum isn't as efficient as some once thought. Now, companies, engineers and scientists aim to replace it with plant-based oils, specifically soybeans. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. recently announced its goal to replace all petroleum-based products with soybean oil by 2040.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A judge has tossed the case against one of 18 people cited in Colorado Springs after a Black Lives Matter protest on Interstate 25, calling it a violation of her free-speech rights. El Paso County Court Senior Judge Stephen Sletta on Wednesday dismissed the lone misdemeanor filed against 21-year-old Molly Avion. In a two-page ruling, he found that the state statute used against her — which makes it illegal to obstruct highways — was overly broad in a way that could chill the exercise of the First Amendment and invite “arbitrary” enforcement.CORRECTIONS*
