Nice Bill, now it’s time to hold your buddies at the WHO responsible. Man up!

5,800 sf for $43 million He must be getting really tired of fog and rain in Washington—. BillGates realtors SanDiegoCA sunshine beach

Who cares about his new house? He wants to microchip Americans...Guillermo Portones (Bill Gates) probably has ties to Nazi Germany and Communist China. Now that he used Freedom and Capitalism to get rich, he wants to control others. What a paradox.

Crazy how some magas get upset about these people spending their own money and yet not upset Trump is stealing and profiting from the Oval Office. You people need brain surgeries!!!

Haters... haters everywhere

If this is true, it is bizarre when they could have bought Casa Pacifica in San Clemente, Nixon’s Western White House.

Could have gone to the Covid19 relief!

Screw Gates.

Why is this news?

No one cares

CHARITY DONATIONS NEEDS TO BE TRANSFORMED AS 'SOCIAL INVESTMENTS' TO BE REPAYABLE BY BENEFICIARIES AS RECYCLING AFTER ATTAINING THEIR ABILITY TO REPAY. ALL KIND HEARTED DONATIONS, CONTRIBUTIONS ONLY TO HELP IN IDENTIFIABLE, RESPONSIBLE MANNER TO THE NEEDY ON TIME BUT NOT AS FREE.

Thought beachfront property was worthless due to global warming? Or does pantentig a new virus vaccination and chipping people make that no longer an issue somehow?

Thank you for helping Boone!

Coronavirus rocks!!!

BillGates Corporate media reports on your house and not on you funding WHO

who cares anything about this

Ok so it’s called capitalism . It’s that WSJ conservatism platform

Yeah, seems that the climate change end of the world would s very near!

I do not believe they are concerned with climate change and ocean levels rising in the near future since the purchase of ocean front home.

meanwhile disabled veterans make $36K a year.

I hope those 2 like it there.

There are better locations in San Diego. That's what happens when you are not local. Del Mar itself has much better places.

They'll probably vaccinate it! 🤠

Deplorable.

I would have thought better of Bill and Melinda Gates. At a time like this, with so many families struggling, to spend this enormous wealth on a beach house is immoral.

disgusting

Fuck them both!

Time to retire....👨🏻‍🦳👵🏻 Del Mar is a perfect place for that!

Bill Gates to make coronovirus

I think BillGates is expecting a future revenue stream to pay off

Can they adopt some homeless people

Probably unloaded a few Inovio stocks 😂

Melinda Gates looks like a guy.

Chump change for him

And we can’t afford to give healthcare to every American.

He is so worried about climate change that he bought a house on the beach.

And they’ve donated $250 million to fight Coronavirus so far.

Have they been 'apple bobbing' in a dark treacle dip?

Hmmm, oceanfront property, and the seas are supposed to rise and flood the area but just spent 43 million on a home that would be destroyed if climate change, global warming as they claim is real. Hmmm call me skeptical but I smell BS

Good for them

Why hasnt he lobbied to pay more taxes?! Lobbied for better wages, lobbied as a representative of poor people, lobbied for hundreds of other things, yet he hasnt. Stop giving praise to these people for doing less than nothing!

Smack in the middle of a pandemic. 👌

Neighbors are awfully close

Nueva casa de Bill Gates

And we're all so glad that they're so glad.

Is this a guy who media around the world writing how cheap watch he has, they're celebrating him as a God for having Timex of 50$

At the present time I am not particularly interested in the real estate values of single homes on the seacoast.

I love Del Mar.

when there's BLOOD on the streets buy real estate BillGates gatesfoundation thanks for proving to all americans what capitalism is all about in the time of a pandemic. and i'm a capitalist so i hate you even more for this

I guess they are making good money off the population control and Wuhan Virus patents.

15 ¡Ay del que da de beber a su prójimo! ¡Ay de ti, que le acercas tu hiel, y le embriagas para mirar su desnudez!

He has been at it a long time.

I don't criticize them for being wealthy or spending that kind of money. He is an inventor and entrepreneur so good for him. But like some are saying, he is clear that global warming is occurring and causing sea levels to rise so doesn't that put his house at risk?

Congrats!

They bought property at sea level but they say sea leaves will rise 20 feet in the next 20 years. Are they stupid or liars?

Wow, they actually negotiated $5 mil off asking? Hilarious

Did anyone else create ground breaking software that revolutionized the world of technology? No! Then shut the fuck up! He earned it. He's giving alot of it away as well.

That’s a whole lot of free testing kits.

What about the CORONAVIRUS... I was listening in YouTube ... Bill Gates and Doctor Fauci ... were involved in financial the wuham laboratory in China 😬🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 fake media ?

Nice.

Is Dr. Fouci a house guest?

$43 million is the change found amongst the crumbs under the sofa cushions in the Gates family living room. Come out to Del Mar, Bill! I’ll even let you use my box.

Raising seas be damned BillGates

I thought Lil Billy Gates could get rid of any virus !

Because sea levels are rising and we MUST preserve every inch of land.

Tax The Rich

Benefiter of monster called Globalization

KathyClarkeNYC But what about global warming and sea level rise Why would a person buy a house on the oceanfront?

I'm sure they taste just fine with a little salt and butter.

Who cares for such news ?

Cause they were homeless & needed a crash pad?

Just what I am sure the gates need ... another house 🙄

I’m sure that’s a drop in the bucket for them; plus the way he’s pushing vaccines etc I’m pretty sure he’ll have more $$ to spend ... bless his heart

AND The have donated $35.8 Billion to the Gates Foundation as opposed to he with the big gate has stolen money from charities! Now that's better news!

Really? WoW. Do they really need another house?

Paid $43m for house that’s soon going to be underwater.

Oceanfront you say, not worried about climate change then

Sick 'look at their money' brag

Nobody wants you, never mind America. The entire World!

Globalists replace parasite gates with cockroach kissinger

And? COVID19

Thanks for the info?

he worked hard to create the virus but now with the vaccine in his pocket and thanks to the governments sold he immediately takes back all the money

alfiefelix

BillGates has donated hundreds of millions to WHO , why don’t you report on that? BillGates Loves the ROI on WHO

From the air, $43,000,000 does not seem to buy much in this area. Looks like a dump! Maybe, a fixer upper?

Isnt 4.3 million and 43 million the same for him?

I’m so happy 😁 😁😁😁😁

Congratulations. Enjoy it.

Ahhhh and they love the poor 😂

Gross!!!! 🤬

Who cares? I hope he vaccinated the shit out of himself, so he wouldn't catch covid19 in his new shelter!

TheTwoSeas Gosh..

Jewish rule: when there's blood in the streets, buy property. when viruses spread, buy gold and property.

I do not understand why the conspiracy theorists in the United States want to slander Bill Gates. Bill Gates paid for the vaccine, but it was said to be a conspiracy theory. Americans should not treat a kind person like this.

From computer parts to vaccines, neat trick and lucrative too. Creepy git.

I wouldn’t be surprised someone discovered BillGates and Xi Jinping are engineering to reduce the world population.

Well I’m glad someone took advantage of coronavirus.

Is he going to turn it into a vaccination center?

Wait what about global warming? Isn’t it going to flood? Asking for a friend 🙄

I hope that it is in the path of the wildfires there.

Ummm !

Don't give Gates a chance .... Murderers are usually in prison.

Bill Gates : global warming is a disaster and sea levels are going to rise catastrophically! Also Bill Gates : Yo check out my new ocean front house.

Ordinarily I don’t care who buys what....but somehow this is so obscene it has me furious. The income disparity in this country is staggering in scope.

🤮

Yeah baby yeah🇬🇧

NARCISSISTIC PERVERTS : Microsoft-Amazon-Nike-Google-Facebook-Uber-Banks-Apple-Starbucks-Whirlpool-Panama papers-IKEA...(list too long) TAX EVASION & AVOIDANCE... are SOCIAL CRIMES =LESS public money for educational-ecological-collective projects +SOCIAL VIOLENCE +DESASTERS

Gross

Or, alternately, we could refrain from doxxing them.

Great another billionaire in my city🙄

this family is corrupt af. Pretend to care that's whT they are doing. anyone who 'help' there is always a dark inside of them. corporate corrupt corporatesocialism COVIDIOTS

they made lot of money form china government

Good for them! They deserve it. They’ve made major contributions to the clean energy effort, donated billions in foundation dollars, Melinda is changing lives of women everywhere, and you sat on the couch with your thumb up your butt playing Zoo Tycoon.

The Luciferian Gates and Wifey are Globalists!

Bill Gates is the Mr. Rogers of billionaires.

She's such a cutie.

Good times are coming for them?

Is there anyone that didn’t get fucked over by Bill

Why is this news? What more would you expect from a climate alarmist than buying a massively expensive home on the ocean? Let them eat cake!

Place it alright... I wouldn't have paid 43 Million

🤮

While I respect Bill and Melinda Gates for their efforts on water, toilets, and disease, it should be noted that $43 million from a $99.5 BILLION dollar fortune is equivalent to using $43 dollars from $99,500. To them, this 'most expensive' house is a mere $43 out of 100k.

Thought there was climate change and blah blah blah

I couldn't care less. Is this news?

BillGates Millions of people with Covid19, hundreds of thousand dying, others loosing their jobs, others dying of hunger.. and Mr Gates is buying a new home for $ 43.000.000 That is why Billionaires are another pest that should be exterminated. Absolutely Shameful!

It is a very wonderful thing that one of us honors his wife, his life partner, with something she loves or with something beloved for her heart, a wide house where her children can be stuck?

Are these the actions of a humble philanthropist or disconnected hypocrite? BillGates

Can't wait for the hackers to expose you more

real good timing guys!

He could've given the money to WHO instead!

Still a crook!

Have you vaccinate your family with coronavirus vaccine

Just 43 mil?

ok

Good to see that Bill is going to be okay through all of this.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, like who cares?

So?

Good choice. Del Mar is great, especially DelMarRacing

''Please, sir, may I have some more please?''

food banks are running out of food

Nice. Funding the WHO talking points and buying $43m house while 22m out of work. Nice optics. Zero self awareness.

TrueAnonPod Is this something?

Coronavirus: THE GREAT EQUALIZER wealthTax

Because 1 oceanfront home isn’t really enough.

The .00000000001% Democrats should hate them but I guess they don't 🤷🏻‍♂️

hurry up and make the damn vaccine Gates!

20 million unemployed

Why is he buying a house in California at this time?

How much did WHO was supposed to get that donalduck didn’t give? Mr bill would you please pay a check its 100$ for u for what I make.

Breaking: Worlds richest guy and conspiracy theorists poster boy buys very expensive house.

Should have invested in a correctional facility. 😷

Penny in their pocket

Why not? That’s ashtray money for them.

Bill Gates is partially responsible for the outbreak of COVIDー19 ?

Who cares. Not me.
