In an exclusive interview with "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King, Melinda French Gates describes her departure from the Gates Foundation as an "evolution" rather than a sudden move. She talks about her current focus, Pivotal Ventures, and how she aims to support groups that safeguard women's rights and boost their influence.

As a woman in my forties, I find immense inspiration in figures like Melinda Gates. It's heartening to see more and more representation in the media of women thriving beyond their 50s or after significant life changes like divorce. These women-Melinda French Gates, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey-are paving the way and setting an example for what life can look like at 50, 60, 70, and beyond. Their journeys give me a roadmap for my own future, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.❤

When we fall deeply in love 😍 with someone special, it always feels magical 💖 so magical that you don't wanna think or believe that magical love will ever end and when it does, it feels catastrophic, a train wreck. People especially women need to think in terms of independence, of just being satisfied with being on your own. I'm sure it was a very difficult time for Melinda to accept that her long term marriage was over but it gives me joy and happiness that she's moving on by finding purpose to help other women and girls. As a woman who chose to never marry or have kids, this gives me hope that I and other women can find purpose and not just resort to a life as a wife and mother. Good luck Melinda you're doing GREAT! 😇

Melinda is strong, smart and a change agent in society. She challenges all of us to step up and do something for another human every day. She is a role model for ALL people. If Bill Gates was in the hot seat, I guarantee that Gayle would not have commented so often “and You look good.” “And You feel good?” Isn’t it time this changed? Exhausting.

@ceramicvases Месяц назад

what irks me is how a billionaire, many times over, when talking to these women in dire situations and the poorest of the poor, with the utmost awful future ahead, how on earth doesn't she have the urge to give them directly some money; 3-10 thousand dollars -which would be a handbag for her, could change a family's future forever! And I know you can't help the whole world, but she could directly help hundreds and hundreds and it would only be a teeny tiny dent in her finances. Like how can you look theae women in the eyes, sitting on dirt, pretending you can empathize with all that head nodding, and then go back to thousand dollar sheeted bed, luxurious jet, mega mansion, and so forth.

@curtbergeron703 Месяц назад

Seriously? If you wouldn’t want someone like Melinda French Gates having influence on your grandchildren, then you have some screws loose. Melinda French Gates leads with honesty, integrity and lifting others up. If only others with wealth and power had her same mindset.

@EricaGamet Месяц назад

Did you miss the part about "philanthropy without strings attached"? She is giving to orgs that are lifting up women, girls, and men and boys. She has no influence on how that's done. If you had an charity organization (though I'm not sure you're the person for the job) wouldn't you be glad to have the money to accomplish your goals? What do you mean by "do good for yourself," anyway? Be selfish?

Maybe because she wasn’t allowed to allocate some of the money to the areas that need fixing? She was married to a control freak. I hear she’s a part of a project now with Makenzie Scott and some others to create a walking and bike pathway on the east side of Seattle? So that’s a start.

@seanyboy94 Месяц назад

Some food for thought as a gay male.. take 30 seconds to imagine this for a minute. I am a 30 year old and I marry the founder and CEO of the most successful company in the history of the world. I go into a meeting with a world leader and my husband. Who do you think people are going to focus on? I'd be willing to bet every dollar that I've ever made on them focusing on my hypothetical husband, the founder of the most successful company in the history of the world. Melinda, do you think when Kamala Harris goes into a room with her husband Doug that anyone even acknowledges him? Is he going to get any sympathy from a news anchor as a man? No... Please stop making gender an issue. You're perpetuating sexism and creating a double standard for men. It needs to stop.

is anyone could be helpful here--why she divorced with bill gates，but there is still a “gates” in her name？

@JK-ck4er Месяц назад

Does it really matter? Is it so important why others outside the immediate family need to know? Okay, most women at least in western culture may keep the married last name. For such reasons as it’s a hassle to change, if there is kids from the marriage it’s easier to have the same last name as them, if a woman has been married for many decades and feels like they earned the name and is still close with her exes family she may keep it etc. those are some big reasons why a woman way keep her married name if she chooses to…but again, does it really matter to know why?

Well, I'm not sure we could disavow her attractiveness completely. Any level of attraction would be beholden to one's subjective taste, ultimately. As for body mass index, she seems well within the healthy range. And, though she is wealthy and often photographed, she isn't an actor or performer so she isn't afflicted with the pressure to be "thin."

The beauty of 2024 the new name we take is up to the individual. When I divorced I took back my family name as my middle name and kept my husband's name because I had two children with that same name. Later on when my two sons were grown and launched and I remarried, I kept my family name as my middle name and took my new husband's last name. In fact we both took each others name and we both are hyphenated.
