It is assumed that the couple will divide their assets in accordance with a separation agreement since they don’t have a prenuptial agreement.
The automobiles and aircraft he has owned over the years are listed here.
911 Porsche
When the business was established in Albuquerque in 1979, Microsoft founder Bill Gates bought a Porsche 911.
The vehicle is noted for its opulent interior and twin-cylinder engine.
According to CNBC, Gates apparently enjoyed taking the vehicle on test drives in the deserts of New Mexico.
According to a 1997 Time feature, a friend named Paul Allen once had to bail out Bill Gates after a “reckless” ride.
A 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo sold for $80,000 in 2012 at an auction in Austria, which was $30,000 more than expected by experts.
In 2018, Gates called the investment a “indulgence” in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
911 Porsche
Gates is among the fortunate owners of a remarkably rare Porsche 959 since just 337 of these vehicles were produced.
The tech tycoon reportedly struggled to get it into America since it didn’t adhere to emissions regulations, according to the DuPont Registry.
The car is expensive, with a $2M market value.
Toyota Taycan
The Porsche Taycan, an electric car, was unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Taycan Turbo, which was released to compete with Tesla’s Model S, which is valued at just under $80,000, has a projected starting price of $150,000.
According to estimates, the Taycan can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about three seconds.
Porsche 348
The last V8 model created before to Enzo Ferrari’s passing was the Ferrari 348.
As he frequently spun the car in the sand, it became known as the Gates “dune buggy,” according to Time Magazine.
Between 1989 and 1995, more than 8,000 units were made before production was stopped.
