Gates is said to be dating Oracle CEO Mark Hurd’s widow.
Bill Gates is no longer single – and apparently hasn’t been for quite a while. According to the “Daily Mail”, the Microsoft founder is said to be with the widow of Oracle boss Mark Hurd, who died in 2019. The pair were last spotted competing in the men’s singles final at the Australian Open in January. But the two have performed together at tennis events in the past.
Paula Hurd was married to Mark Hurd until his death in 2019. In 1984 she received her bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Texas at Austin. She then worked for years at the software company NCR, which offers software, hardware and services for banks and retail companies. According to her Linkedin profile, she is currently working as a developer and organizer.
Paula Hurd has two children
Incidentally, Hurd has long been an avid philanthropist. She ran several fundraisers with her late husband. Bill Gates has also invested vast amounts of money in his philanthropic projects.
Paula Hurd has two children — daughters Kathryn and Kelly — from his marriage to the late Oracle CEO Mark Hurd. In August 2021, Bill (67) and Melinda French Gates (58) divorced after 27 years of marriage. The reason is said to have been an affair between a Microsoft employee and Bill.
