Are you really curious?
It's the same reason that if Oprah took her billions to try and solve some global problem with her husband Stedman, many mentions of the work they were doing would not mention Stedman.
One is a famous individual who built up an obscene fortune, and the other person is married to them. And despite how involved their partner is deploying that wealth for the good of the world, people are just not going to mention the less famous one who didn't build up the fortune as often.
- blnqr 6y agoOprah Winfrey is not married to Stedman Graham
- JamesBarney 6y agoWhoops, I misremembered.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoIt's the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, so it would be apt to credit them both; erasing her does not do her, her work and her achievements justice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Gates#Awards_and_recognition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Gates#Awards_and_recog...).
- JamesBarney 6y agoThe question was "Why isn't she mentioned?" He did not ask "Would it be apt to mention her?" "Should you also mention Melinda when referring to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation?" The answers is yes to both of these questions. She is an impressive person who has accomplished much in her life. He did this (I assume) to imply the reason she was not mentioned was because she was a woman and not because of the large and obvious disparity in fame.
- HiroshiSan 6y agoJust to clarify I didn't mention it because she was a woman but because she seemed to be an equal and important partner in the foundation but the accomplishments always seemed to land in Bills corner.
