Bill Gates was on the verge of tears while talking about his nasty split from estranged wife Melinda Gates.
Page Six broke the story, the 65-year-old billionaire reportedly spoke at a conference while at the Allen & Co. conference nicknamed the “summer camp for billionaires.”
The annual event takes place in Sun Valley, Idaho. Last week, Bill was speaking at a Q&A led by CNBC host Becky Quick. While on stage, Becky asked Bill about his divorce and what it meant for the Gates Foundation where Melinda serves as co-chair.
A source told the outlet, “He fessed up to messing up. He basically referred to the fact that it [the divorce] was his fault.”
“He did seem a bit emotional about it. He might have been on the verge of tears,” the insider added.
Bill reportedly did not use the word affair while speaking despite admitting to stepping outside his marriage back in 2000.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Melinda filed for divorce from Bill after 27 years of marriage in May.
In court documents, Melinda revealed the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before getting hitched.
