A scandal involving one of the wealthiest men in the world has unexpectedly thrust a previously obscure figure into the spotlight of the tech and gaming communities. Mila Antonova, a Russian bridge player and software engineer, recently became the centre of international attention following revelations about a secret romantic relationship that tied her life to some of the most powerful names in business.
The Microsoft co-founder, who boasts a net worth of over £100 billion ($125 billion), met the young woman when she was in her 20s. Their relationship started with a shared love for a classic card game, but it eventually pulled them into a complicated situation involving the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
