Melinda AnnFrench was born on August 15, 1964, in Dallas, Texas. Her father, an aerospace engineer who worked for Nasa, encouraged her keen interest in science and technology from a young age, even telling her she should learn to code, she recalled once in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Melinda first met Bill at a work dinner in New York in 1987, less than a month into her Microsoft job, according to her interview with David Rubenstein. However, she admitted that being in a relationship with the company’s founder worried her at first.
“It wasn’t one moment or one specific thing that happened. There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realised it just wasn’t healthy, and I couldn’t trust what we had,” she told the host. When asked ifBill had had multiple affairs during their marriage, Melinda simply replied “those are questions Bill needs to answer”.
Melinda has also said that, although co-parenting withBill has been difficult since their divorce, her “main concern was trying to protect my kids through it” in an interview with Fortune.
Now thought to be worth around US$11 billion, Melinda’s wealth is primarily derived from her former marriage toBill. As part of their divorce settlement, she received a significant portion of their shared assets: “We spent some time coming up with a fair settlement that we both signed,” Bill told The Sunday Times in 2022, adding that it was mostly about how much they wanted to each be able to give away, rather than keep.
