#BillGates plays putt-putt with his ex-girlfriend?? A "hole in one"?
Details as to what led to the split remain scant at this point, though a TIME article in 1997 noted that Bill Gates would spend one weekend a year with his ex-girlfriend, Ann Winblad, a software entrepreneur, and venture capitalist, per an “arrangement” with his wife.
“Even now, Gates has an arrangement with his wife that he and Winblad can keep one vacation tradition alive,” the outlet alleged. “Every spring, as they have for more than a decade, Gates spends a long weekend with Winblad at her beach cottage on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where they ride dune buggies, hang-glide and walk on the beach.”
“We can play putt-putt while discussing biotechnology,” Gates said at the time.
