Back in May, we reported that Bill and Melinda Gates shocked the world when they announced that they are divorcing after 27 years of marriage.

Now, it’s been revealed that Bill reportedly opened up about his divorce at the exclusive Allen & Co. “summer camp for billionaires” last week in an “emotional” session that saw him tear up.

During an “off the record” Q&A session after Bill’s talk on climate change, CNBC host Becky Quick asked the billionaire about his divorce from Melinda.

“He fessed up to messing up,” one attendee told The New York Post. “He basically referred to the fact that it [the divorce] was his fault.”

“He did seem a bit emotional about it,” the attendee continued. “He might have been on the verge of tears.”

This attendee said that Bill never used the word “affair” while discussing the breakdown of his marriage, while another person who was there described the session as being “very moving.”

However, not all of the attendees were so impressed and moved. One person said that Bill seemed “agitated” and that he brushed off any attendees who tried to come chat with him.

“Bill Gates was pretty much a total a–hole,” this attendee said.

Bill and Melinda stunned everyone when they announced that they were divorcing, saying that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”

“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” they said in a statement. “Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives.”

“We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives,” their statement concluded. “We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”

It has since been revealed that Bill had admitted to his golf buddies that his marriage to Melinda was “loveless” prior to their divorce filing.

“Bill did talk to his close friends on the golf course,” a source told The New York Post. “He told them a while back that the marriage was loveless, that it had been over for some time and they were living separate lives.”
