Microsoft founder Bill Gates had an 'inappropriate' sexual relationship with a female staff member in 2000, and resigned while an investigation into the relationship was being investigated by the company board. 

The affair came to light after the Microsoft employee wrote to the board in 2019 detailing the affair - and allegedly asked that Gates' estranged wife Melinda Gates, 56, read the letter. 

Gates, 65, quit the board suddenly in March 2020 while the investigation was still underway.
