Melinda Gates

The Gates family is, without doubt, one of the most elite families on Earth. Melinda, as you might have guessed, is married to Bill Gates, the second-richest man in the world—second only to Jeff Bezos. Melinda started working at Microsoft after college and embarked on an office romance with her boss some months later. The pair got married in Hawaii in 1994 and have been happy together for several decades.

The couple is heavily engaged in philanthropic work through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has donated billions of dollars to research and charitable projects all around the world. The couple have three children.
