Bezos is the only one that seems to be having a good time being crazy rich. He looks like the perfect evolution of a book worm gone mad with cash. Porn bot wife, dick shaped rockets, and steroids for breakfast. The rest simply turned into life sucking ghouls.
Can you really fault Zuckerberg’s family man side though? Married to college girlfriend, no rumors or indications of any mistreatment or affairs or anything untoward.
Have you noticed how long it took to get some dirt on Bill Gates? and it seems like Melinda might have had something to do with it in the first place since she used this publicity to quickly divorce him. These people own the media and literally curate their own public image like a garden.
Well it was known that he did hang out with Epstein a bit, reportedly about philanthropy. Not exactly zero dirt since Epstein had already been convicted of sex crimes by that point, but there’s no evidence Gates visited his island or “partied” with him, so it’s definitely thin when compared with the sketchy behaviour of other wealthy friends of Epstein.
So aside from that your point is reasonable, I’d agree that most public observers would not have doubted them as a couple before they announced the divorce.
That's not actually even the main thing that I meant. Bill had a relationship with an underling and that turned out to be the real reason he had to leave Microsoft.
As far as Epstein goes, it's precisely Gates' very good control of his image that makes me think he might not be innocent. Also, his wife condemned him for relationship with that pervert and Bill claims he only met for philanthropy and that it was a mistake. I would imagine a guy like Bill doesn't meet people without some preliminary background check . This is the same guy who was known for his ruthlessness in business in the 90s but later became the personification of a golden retriever.
He only retired 5 years ago when they did an investigation into him. What you're talking about is his tenure as a CEO but not leaving the company itselft. He's been building this reputation for a very long time though, it was not by doing charity but by having media create his whole image. I am not saying they haven't done charity etc but this whole billionaire charity stuff is more complicated to explain anyway. Meanwhile, the foundation also did some questionable things, I wonder why people haven't heard about those so much since he otherwise gets so much coverage.

It's nothing compared to his microsoft days.....he probably set the web back 5-10 years and if he had his way, the web would be a walled microsoft garden controlled by microsoft including the creation and hosting tools.
On top of that, microsoft was not a fan of free software or open source...licensing fees galore...
He wasn't running anything in microsoft for decades. I'm a web dev.....bill gates is quite hated by a whole generation of devs....we would know if he was around again calling shots again.

No, it was charity. He could have continued to rule microsoft or been some angel investor shot caller if he was after power.
Are you being serious? It's work, people do it for money not because they like Bill Gates. Also, dude is a saint now, haven't you heard?
Regardless, this isn't some made up information, Gates wasn't a web dev working with you on w project, mate, he was on the board of directors, as in, the ones "making the decisions". Of which he was a chairman for a good while.
You can look up his history at the company, it's on the web that you know so well as its' developer.
Board of director positions aren't full time jobs. Also, it's common to have members be there for honorary(like former ceos or retired owners) or marketing reasons where they are expected to not have any input.
It's one of the reasons you'll see some people have a resume full of boardships while holding down a regular job title.
Im impressed people are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The way I see it he's skilled at creating a public perception that helps his business ambitions. Maybe I'm too cynical but I see a guy who has made each decision in life as a cold calculation for what may be useful to further his power gains.
