Title: Melinda Retracts Wealth Donation to Gates Foundation After Divorce

According to the Wall Street Journal, Melinda French Gates has withdrawn her pledge to donate most of her wealth to the charitable foundation she co-founded with her ex-husband and will instead distribute the funds among other charitable organizations. The newspaper reported, citing informed sources, that the 57-year-old computer expert, who was born in Texas, changed her position in late 2021. This move follows her divorce last year from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. The couple had committed in 2010 to donate the majority of their wealth to the "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation," established in 2000, which has spent $55 billion in its first two decades, focusing on fighting poverty, disease, and inequality. There has been no comment yet from Melinda French Gates or the "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" regarding this news.
