When it comes to this sort of thing I assume there may be some agreements in place within their marriage. It is strange that the wealth isn't accounted as a union (Walton family comes to mind here). I suspect that's down to the legal paperwork of assigning shares and ownership alongside voting rights.
That said, how does my mind work? My first question was, "Will Bill Gates be the richest man in the world again?". Maybe I should start rephrasing that as "Will the Gates' become the richest couple in the world again?"
- sys_64738 8y agoWas Bill Gates the richest before he got married?
- mikepurvis 8y agoThey were married in 1994. MSFT was already doing well at that point, but you're looking at a shared price of $2.50 vs $100+ today. So yeah, from a raw numbers point of view, it's not comparable at all.
