Will continue to issue service packs

Software King of the World Sir William Gates III and his Queen Melinda Gates have decided to call it quits on their marriage.

The couple announced the news in a statement posted to Twitter on Monday, saying that while they plan to continue working together at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, they no longer believe they can continue growing as a couple.

Gates is worth $130.5 billion, according to Forbes. He's one of only eight moguls worth over $100 billion and is currently the fourth richest person in the world.

Most of the reporting of the divorce has focused on how rich Gates is. However, most of the cash the pair have earned is donated to charity through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. They have also pledged to give away most of their fortune through the Giving Pledge, which they launched in 2010.

"Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives", the couple tweeted.

"We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in the next phase of our lives.

"We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life."
