Microsoft founder Bill Gates allegedly had an affair with a Russian cards player.
The legendary tech figure got divorced from his longtime wife, Melinda, in 2021. The couple had been married from 1994 until 2021.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Gates allegedly had an affair with a Russian bridge player around 2010.
"Jeffrey Epstein discovered that Bill Gates had an affair with a Russian bridge player and later appeared to use his knowledge to threaten one of the world's richest men, according to people familiar with the matter," they reported.
"The Microsoft co-founder met the woman around 2010, when she was in her 20s. Epstein met her in 2013 and later paid for her to attend software coding school. In 2017, Epstein emailed Gates and asked to be reimbursed for the cost of the course, according to the people familiar with the matter."
Epstein, who was accused of sexually abusing girls as young as 14, died in prison.
Gates, meanwhile, has been living life as a single man since his divorce from his longtime wife.
