Melinda Gates- A Name to change the Lives of the less lucky!

I missed you so much my readers, all the time I was thinking of you! Any way I was time pressed hence was not in picture. Who is not jealous of this lady in the world? Am sure everyone is!  Am talking of Melinda, wife of computer wizard Bill Gates, a person changed the direction of the world! I feel how come these people became so extraordinary being so ordinary? Or answer lies in my question itself! Melinda got married to Bill in 1994 in Hawaii. After her marriage she left Micro soft for the nobler cause. For raising the family! Melinda and Bill Gates have three children.

Melinda thought she would rather help people around the world philanthropically. She opened Melinda charity, and is still working for it. She had very excellent education. Melinda being a top student in class, she obtained an MBA degree also. Her last position was Microsoft’s General Manager of Information Products. After this she got married and left Microsoft. Both Melinda and Bill Gates have donated $24 billion to the foundation. Bill Gates and Melinda have been showered by names, honorary degrees. They have all the good wishes of the beneficiaries. Bill and Melinda were named as Persons of the Year in 2005.

I feel Melinda likes to work behind the curtains watching the difference stringently. Melinda was also named as one of the most powerful women in 2008 by Forbes. Bill and Melinda are well aware of the slumping economy of the world. From 2008, Bill has started working full time in Melinda and bill Gates foundation. More in the next post… wait till then readers cheers..!

  1. I enjoyed reading your article. We live in a male-centric world. I believe the situation for leading career women is getting worse and there is a lot more we can all do to change the status quo. We all need to keep on communicating effectively about issues preventing women achieve higher levels of success to overcome this obstacle.
