Nearly four years after Bill Gates announced his intent to divorce his longtime wife Melinda, the Microsoft co-founder said he now considers the decision to be one of the worst he has ever made.
“That was the mistake I most regret,” Gates, 69, told The Times in an interview that was published on Saturday, Jan. 25.
Over the course of his conversation with the British paper, the billionaire said his marriage “kept me grounded” when he was younger and that he tried to recreate the kind of happy family setting that he enjoyed as a child.
“There is a certain wonderfulness to spending your entire adult life with one person because of the memories and depth of things you have done and having kids together,” he said.
