Vanity Fair magazine published a report on Monday where new details of the divorce between Bill and Melinda Gates were released .
According to sources on the site, the Microsoft co-founder had adventures that were an open secret to those around him.
Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman, Nick Bilton and Emily Jane Fox report cited two sources who claimed that someone in French Gates’ inner circle had hired a private investigator prior to the divorce. However, a spokesperson told People magazine that this claim was “completely false.”
A former employee told Vanity Fair that Gates switched cars when he got to and from the office. They claimed the philanthropist was driving a Mercedes to work only to leave an hour later in a golden brown Porsche brought by his security personnel.
