Bill and Melinda Gates are divorcing after 27 years of marriage.

The Microsoft co-founder and his wife said they'll continue to work together at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It's the largest charitable foundation in the world, with an endowment worth nearly $50 billion. Since 2000, it's focused on global health and development and U.S. education issues.
