It is the amount of money the wife would be getting that will interest people.

Definition of not much is relative. Haha anyway their kids will be rich still anyway. Good lah benefit the causes. 

Buffet will leave most of his wealth to philanthropy also.

Nothing much will happen - they will be just like working fren frens ...... Here in Asia we frown , there is kinda common ..... all is well taken and Foundation runs as usual 

[inlinesix]

Most of their assets are in Family Office.  The office will continue as it is now.

Nothing much changed.

[Voodooman]

Hope they will continue to do the good work they have been doing all these years.

It doesn't really matter. He still got more than 95% of the population.

Melinda will be cleaning out his Microsoft Orifice. BackOrifice also. 😁

All levity aside, Bill and Melinda were the couple I always looked up to, when I thought about how a marriage could remain intact despite all the odds and despite massive wealth. 

Well.

I think the most sound decision the current young can make is not to get married. Cohabit if you want. But don't get into the legal quagmire of marriage.

 I stand by remarks I made fairly recently:

As more and more in developed countries abstain from marriage, and their fertility rates dry up (with or without marriage, regardless of choice), the developing world will keep flooding us with kids. Regardless of wedlock. And heedless of their ability to support those kids properly. 

The future of the world looks darker than ever, and COVID-19 is only the merest blip on the long term horizon. 

Oh well. Humanity has had a good run. Time to let some other sentient species have their time in the sun. Or the star(s) of their system. It's a big galaxy out there, and even bigger observable Universe. And an incomprehensibly, unfathomable total Universe (with an unknownable Multiverse). And a long time to our heat death. The future looks promising, even if ours doesn't. Drake equation, Drake away.

EDMW BBFAs will be happy to take your advice on singlehood as gold, and use it to justify why they are not getting hitched 😂
