"Take Bill Gates He really is rich. He is, but money apparently doesn't buy you happiness. Earlier this year, Bill said that the breakup of his marriage, after 27 years, was the mistake I most regret. Bigger than allowing Google to develop Android? True, he has also said that has been his biggest mistake, but maybe he regrets that one less. And what about his ex-wife how does she feel about it? Melinda French Gates says that post-Bill she is very happy."
"And what does it find? That nearly a third (31%) said they were happier than they ever had been. Many spoke about finally having a chance to become the women they always wanted to be, setting themselves up for the next half of my life', the survey reports. Sounds like some are going to live to 130! It's amazing what happiness can do for longevity."
Divorces among middle-aged baby boomers, roughly aged 45–65, are increasingly common. High-profile breakups among wealthy couples like Bill and Melinda French Gates and Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott illustrate late-life splits. Bill Gates described the end of his 27-year marriage as the mistake he most regrets, while Melinda French Gates reports being very happy after the split. A Survation survey of more than 2,000 women aged 45–65, including 220 divorcees, found that nearly a third (31%) said they were happier than ever. Many respondents spoke of liberation, personal rebirth and the chance to become their true selves.
