Bill Gates' ex-wife Melinda won't be getting spousal support in their $130 billion divorce.
As Breaking Celebrity News reported, the 56-year-old philanthropist and the ex-Microsoft mogul -- who is nine years her senior -- finalized their divorce on Monday.
A judge signed off on the paperwork marking Bill and Melinda officially single, just three months after she filed to end their marriage.
According to the documents, Melinda isn't the only one walking away without spousal support because Bill isn't getting any either.
Here's the kicker -- Melinda gets to keep the Gates' famous last name.
She has longtime gone by her maiden name of French and tacked on Gates in addition.
Despite a bitter divorce battle riddled with allegations of cheating, Bill and Melinda agreed their property will be divided in accordance with the "separation contract," which simply means they worked it all out when they broke up.
