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.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
