Bill and Melinda Gates are finished but the stories are just starting to come out and this one is awesome.

NYPOST: After marrying his wife, Bill Gates would spend a long weekend every year at a cozy beach cottage in North Carolina — with his old girlfriend.

The billionaire Microsoft founder made sure the bizarre arrangement was part of the deal when he married Melinda French in 1994, he told Time magazine in a 1997 profile.

“We can play putt-putt while discussing biotechnology,” Gates said of his private getaways with fellow nerd techie and ex Ann Winblad — Winblad — who is now happily married to actor Kevin Kline’s detective brother, Alex Kline, a source told The Post on Tuesday.

Gates even sought Winblad’s approval before proposing to his wife.

“When I was off on my own thinking about marrying Melinda, I called Ann and asked for her approval,” he said, adding that Winblad gave the other woman the thumb’s up.

Bill Gates is and always has been a pimp.

Being with the same person for 27 years sounds more like a jail sentence than a good time.  I’m sure Melinda feels the same way.  If she was cool with Billy dipping his old hard drive into Ann Winblad for one weekend a year over a 30 year period, she’s probably going to handle divorce from the world’s richest man just fine.

According to divorce documents that MELINDA filed alone, Bill and Melinda did NOT have a prenup, look the fuck out.

Bill is worth a cool 131 Billion which means Melinda stands to make 65 billion ON TOP of owning 50% of every pie Bill has had his nerdy fingers in over the past 30 years.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has 50 billion in cash on hand.

Bill has significant holdings and positions thought to be worth another 500 Billion.

And listen, Melinda earned that scratch.  Over the past 30 years, Bill has maintained he wouldn’t be where he is today if it wasn’t for Melinda’s work and counsel.  She made that money too.

She probably had a side piece too.  All uber-rich people live by weird rules and lots of relationships have allowances for indiscretions but I have to hand it to both Bill and Melinda for keeping it under wraps for 30 years.

Gates revealed that he and Winblad started taking an annual trip to his ex’s Outer Banks home when they began dating in 1984 after meeting at a computer conference.

The close pair continued making the yearly jaunt down South together even after breaking up in 1987, when Winblad, who at 70 is five years older than Gates, was reportedly more ready to settle down.

The secluded trips involved everything from riding dune buggies to hang-gliding and quiet strolls on the beach.

“We share our thoughts about the world and ourselves,” Winblad told the mag.

“And we marvel about how, as two young overachievers, we began a great adventure on the fringes of a little-known industry and it landed us at the center of an amazing universe.”

They approached this marriage like a partnership.  Bill needed to get his rocks off with an intellectual equal once a year.  Melinda knew that Bill needed it and she gave him the freedom to hit it once a year while reading textbooks on molecular biology….sounds like a blast.  

When the then-couple journeyed to Brazil, Gates brought with him a 1,100-page textbook on molecular biology — and the duo studied it together, Time said. 

During a trip to a ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif., Winblad toted along tapes of famed physicist Richard Feynman so they could listen to them.

Gates, interviewed for the same piece, gushed that his former girlfriend “brings a sense of enjoyment and humor to even the most serious situations.

I’m sure Bill will have enough for rent when this is over.  I’m sure Bill and Melinda will ‘remain friends for the sake of their lives’ work.

It’s just nice to know they’re fucked just like everyone else.
