A little more than a month after Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates officially divorced, Bill went on a buying spree and acquired controlling interest in the Four Seasons luxury hotel group.
The tech billionaire who is now a single man and was once known as a ” hard-partying womanizer who recruited local strippers to attend naked pool parties” cemented controlling interest in the Four Seasons for $2.21 billion after he bought a 24% stake from longtime business partner Alwaleed bin Talal. Gates increased his stake to 71.25% from 47.5%. The deal is subjected to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions but is expected to close in early 1Q22.
Gates, 65, has also stepped down from Microsoft’s board to spend more time on “philanthropic activities.”
Buying the controlling interest of a luxury hotel chain for the super-wealthy doesn’t sound like philanthropy work to us.
Cascade or Gates has yet to release an official statement on the acquisition. However, one would suspect after the government restricted travel during the pandemic, which battered the lodging industry, valuations for hotels may seem appealing.
Gates will now be free to roam the world on his private jet (wonder how he will offset that in carbon credits ), visiting more than 100 hotels and resorts in 47 countries without Melinda.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
