Melinda Gates has resigned from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which will now just be called The Gates Foundation.
Melinda Gates will start her own foundation with a $12.5 billion payout from her ex-husband.
This is huge news in the world of philanthropy but not unexpected since the Gates’s divorce. It’s the end of an era.
