Melinda Gates | Bombardier 700 Global Express | $50.44 million
A philanthropist, Melinda French-Gates is a co-founder of the largest private charitable organization on the planet. For her charity works, Melinda has been awarded the French Legion of Honour and the US Presidential Merit of Freedom. In recent news, it is possible that Melinda might become the second richest woman in the world once her lawyers finalize the separation agreement with Bill Gates. It is unfortunate to hear that the two decided to part ways after being together for 27 years. What is comforting, at least, is that they would still be working together in their joint foundation.
Melinda, along with her husband, owns a line of private jets, including two Bombardier 700 Global Express, each priced at $50.44 million. One of the Bombardier 700s has a call sign of N887WM and the other N194WM. The “WM” probably stands for William and Melinda, while 87 and 94 refer to the year they met and got married, respectively.
