For some people, traveling all over the world and spending time on vacation in various different homes is part of their ordinary, day-to-day life. Money is the ultimate freedom generator, and when you’re married to one of the richest people in the world, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever have to worry about where you’re going to be laying your head at night. None of the people on the list have partners who didn’t work very hard to reach their goals, but naturally, they couldn’t have gotten where they are today without a beloved partner there to offer support along the way. Our list of the other halves of some of the wealthiest people in the world offers up a glimpse into the lives of the rich and famous, and the stories that helped to get them where they are today.
MacKenzie Bezos
It must be quite something to marry one of the most famous billionaires in the world. That is exactly what MacKenzie Bezos did in the early 90’s, after falling in love with the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos. With a cool net worth of over $100 billion, the couple enjoyed a wonderful marriage together, seeing the world and being invited to some of the most exquisite parties in town. In 2019, the pair divorced, with MacKenzie said to have walked away with $35 billion.
Melinda Gates
It’s hard to believe that Melinda Gates was once one of the only women in the team at Microsoft. At this time, she met Bill, and the relationship blossomed almost instantly. Little did they know that he would one day be worth over $100 billion, and that Melinda would be overseeing the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which offers charitable donations to projects that boost global healthcare, and alleviates poverty. The couple is still happily married, and Melinda talks fondly of Bill whenever she gets the chance to.
