Those people are business people… those divorces are most likely strategic business moves.
The circles they move in is small.— MißFortune (Say My Name) (@HeartBlm) May 4, 2021

So Bill and Melinda Gates are to divorce. Yes, it’s sad. People divorce every day, so why is this particular split such big news? It’s not going to impact on the world, it’s not going to affect my life, or anybody else’s. pic.twitter.com/Qxo9htSoDV
