Melinda French Gates to quit Gates Foundation
BBC. Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates has said she will resign as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Ms Gates founded the foundation - the largest private body of its kind - in 2000 with her then-husband Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder. The Gates Foundation is among the most powerful groups in public health. "I am immensely proud of the foundation that Bill and I built together," Ms Gates wrote in her statement adding that under an agreement with Mr Gates, she will now have an additional $12.5bn for her own charitable work on women and families.
