He remains the fourth-richest person in the world even after the stock transfer, witha fortune totaling around $130 billion. And Forbes, which runs a real-time billionaires list, noted that the stock transfer hasmade Melinda Gates a billionaire on her own.</p><p><blockquote>梅琳达·盖茨曾是微软的总经理，结婚后成为了一名作家和慈善家，她的财富早已融入了比尔·盖茨的财富之中。即使在股票转让后，他仍然是世界第四富有的人，财富总额约为1300亿美元。运行实时亿万富翁排行榜的《福布斯》指出，股票转让使梅琳达·盖茨独自成为亿万富翁。</blockquote></p><p>And there’s still plenty more assets for them to divvy up — which will be watched closely, similar to the scrutiny surrounding the 2019 divorce of AmazonAMZN,+1.10%CEO Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott. Bezos transferred 25% of his Amazon stake, or 4% of the company, to Scott as part of their divorce settlement. That was worth about $36.5 billion,making Scott the fourth wealthiest woman in the worldon the Bloomberg Billionaires Index at the time, and the third richest woman on Forbes’ list in 2019.</p><p><blockquote>而且他们还有更多资产需要分割——这将受到密切关注，类似于围绕2019年亚马逊AMZN、+1.10%首席执行官杰夫·贝索斯和MacKenzie Scott离婚的审查。作为离婚协议的一部分，贝佐斯将其持有的亚马逊25%的股份（即公司4%的股份）转让给了斯科特。其价值约365亿美元，使斯科特成为当时彭博亿万富翁指数中全球第四富有的女性，也是2019年福布斯榜单上第三富有的女性。</blockquote></p><p>It remains to be seen how the Gates’s will settle their affairs. Melinda Gates lists no prenup in the divorce filing, so she and her husband will be splitting their assets through a separation contract. Besides running the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which the couple says they will both continue to work on together, the duo is among America’s largest private landowners. They hold some 242,000 acres of farmland, not to mention their $170 million mansion in Washington state.</p><p><blockquote>盖茨夫妇将如何解决他们的事务还有待观察。梅林达·盖茨在离婚文件中没有列出婚前协议，所以她和她的丈夫将通过分居合同来分割他们的资产。除了管理比尔和梅林达·盖茨基金会（这对夫妇表示他们将继续合作），这对夫妇还是美国最大的私人土地所有者之一。他们拥有大约242,000英亩的农田，更不用说他们在华盛顿州价值1.7亿美元的豪宅了。</blockquote></p><p>But they have also promised to give away most of their wealth viathe Giving Pledge, and have donated more than $36 billion through their Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation philanthropy. In a similar vein, Scott has already donated billions of her fortune — such asgiving $4 billion to almost 400 groups across the U.S.in just the last four months of 2020.</p><p><blockquote>但他们也承诺通过捐赠誓言捐出大部分财富，并通过比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会慈善机构捐赠了超过360亿美元。同样，斯科特已经捐赠了数十亿美元的财富，例如仅在2020年最后四个月就向美国近400个团体捐赠了40亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>Distinguishing Melinda Gates’s personal wealth is notable because there are still few women billionaires compared with men. WhileForbes’ 2021 world billionaires listfeatures 328 women, which is up more than 36% from the previous year, that’s still a fraction of the 2,427 male billionaires making the elite 10-figure club. And less than a third (108) of these women billionaires were self-made; most inherited their wealth or share their fortunes with their husbands.</p><p><blockquote>区分梅琳达盖茨的个人财富是值得注意的，因为与男性相比，女性亿万富翁仍然很少。虽然《福布斯》2021年世界亿万富翁排行榜上有328名女性，比上一年增加了36%以上，但这仍然是进入精英10位数俱乐部的2,427名男性亿万富翁的一小部分。这些女性亿万富翁中不到三分之一（108人）是白手起家的；大多数人继承了他们的财富或与丈夫分享他们的财富。</blockquote></p><p>The American Sociological Review reports that households “rarely” reach “1%” status — defined as $845,000 in annual household income — through a woman’s pay alone. The study found that women’s income alone qualifies them for 1% status in just 5% of elite households, and a woman’s income helps push a house into 1% status in just 15% of households. And there are a number of factors at play here, including the pervasive gender pay gap, which can cost women up to $500,000 in lost income over the course of their careers.</p><p><blockquote>《美国社会学评论》报道称，仅通过女性的工资，家庭“很少”达到“1%”的地位——定义为家庭年收入845,000美元。研究发现，在只有5%的精英家庭中，仅女性的收入就使她们有资格获得1%的地位，而在只有15%的家庭中，女性的收入有助于将房屋推入1%的地位。这里有许多因素在起作用，包括普遍存在的性别薪酬差距，这可能会使女性在职业生涯中损失高达50万美元的收入。</blockquote></p><p>What’s more, some behavioral economists and wealth experts theorize that women are more risk-averse than men, which could discourage many from investing or starting their own businesses. And those who take an entrepreneurial leap of faith often struggle to get funded. Venture capitalists — who tend to be white males — also tend to give most of their money to white male entrepreneurs.</p><p><blockquote>此外，一些行为经济学家和财富专家认为，女性比男性更厌恶风险，这可能会阻止许多人投资或创业。那些进行创业信念飞跃的人往往很难获得资金。风险资本家——往往是白人男性——也倾向于将大部分资金交给白人男性企业家。</blockquote></p><p>And let’s not forget that working women also often find themselves penalized for starting families or becoming caregivers in a way that men are not. While men may enjoy a “daddy bonus,” women who become moms see their careers interrupted to care for their kids, and become less likely to be hired for jobs or paid as much as their colleagues. The pandemic has exacerbated these problems, drivinga record number of women to leave the workforce over the past year.</p><p><blockquote>我们不要忘记，职业女性也经常发现自己因为组建家庭或成为照顾者而受到惩罚，而男性却没有。虽然男性可能享受“父亲奖金”，但成为母亲的女性会发现她们的职业生涯因照顾孩子而中断，并且不太可能被雇用或获得与同事相同的报酬。疫情加剧了这些问题，在过去一年中导致创纪录数量的女性离开劳动力市场。</blockquote></p><p>Melinda Gates herself has commented in the past that being married to Bill was “incredibly hard” sometimes, such as being angry with him for reading or working instead of helping her care for their three children.</p><p><blockquote>梅林达·盖茨本人过去曾评论说，嫁给比尔有时“非常困难”，比如因为他读书或工作而不是帮助她照顾他们的三个孩子而生他的气。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1604288433698","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>It’s official: Melinda Gates is a billionaire after a nearly $2.4 billion stock transfer<blockquote>官方消息：梅琳达·盖茨在转让近24亿美元股票后成为亿万富翁</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIt’s official: Melinda Gates is a billionaire after a nearly $2.4 billion stock transfer<blockquote>官方消息：梅琳达·盖茨在转让近24亿美元股票后成为亿万富翁</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">Market Wacth</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-05-07 10:43</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Bill Gates transferred stakes in several companies to Melinda Gates on the day the power couple announced their divorce</p><p><blockquote>在这对权力夫妇宣布离婚的当天，比尔·盖茨将几家公司的股份转让给了梅琳达·盖茨</blockquote></p><p>Bill and Melinda Gates have started splitting their fortune, and it’s already made Melinda a billionaire in her own right.</p><p><blockquote>比尔和梅琳达·盖茨已经开始分割他们的财产，这已经使梅琳达凭借自己的能力成为亿万富翁。</blockquote></p><p>On the day the Microsoft MSFT,+1.32% founder and his partner of almost 30 yearsannounced that they were getting divorced, Bill Gates’s holding company Cascade Investment transferred stakes in several companies to Melinda Gates that are worth almost $2.4 billion,The Wall Street Journal reported.</p><p><blockquote>据《华尔街日报》报道，在微软MSFT创始人和他近30年的合伙人宣布离婚的当天，比尔·盖茨的控股公司Cascade Investment将几家公司价值近24亿美元的股份转让给了梅琳达·盖茨。</blockquote></p><p>According to SEC filings, Melinda Gates is now one of the largest shareholders in Coca-ColaKO,+1.00%bottler Coca-Cola Femsa SAB and Grupo Televisa SA, which are both based in Mexico.
