Bill and Melinda Gates are getting divorced after 27 years of marriage, the couple announced in a joint statement on Monday.

Grow together

The statement said the couple will continue to work together at their foundation, but that they no longer believe that they can grow together as a couple.

Bill Gates (65), who co-founded Microsoft in 1975, met Melinda Gates (56) in 1987 while working at Microsoft. They married in 1994 and a year later Bill became the richest man in the world.
