Jeffrey Epstein tried to blackmail Bill Gates over an affair Gates had with a Russian woman named Mila Antonova, using money Epstein had given her as leverage. This comes after Gates recently admitted to having affairs during his 27-year marriage to Melinda French Gates.
Gates made the confession at a town hall meeting for his Gates Foundation, telling staff he had affairs, specifically mentioning “one with a Russian bridge player… and one with a Russian nuclear physicist.” He maintained that he never did anything “illicit” with Epstein. Melinda French Gates has largely pointed to Gates’ friendship with Epstein as a major reason their marriage broke down.
