Gates' Epstein ties led to significant fallout: contributed to his 2021 divorce from Melinda (who cited it as a factor), public regret (called it a "huge mistake" in 2025 statements), and reputational scrutiny, though he continues philanthropy.

Through 2024, Gates donated $60.2B to his foundation, which has given >$100B total, much in scientific research (e.g., vaccines, health). He plans $200B more by 2045. On patents: Foundation funds patent-heavy innovations in biotech/agriculture; Gates holds/invests in related patents via ventures like Breakthrough Energy.
