Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates will continue to work together as co-chairs of their foundation even after their planned divorce. However, if after two years Gates and French Gates decide they cannot continue in their roles, French Gates will resign her positions as co-chair and trustee, The Bill and Gates Melinda Foundation announced Wednesday. To reflect their commitment to continue the Gates Foundation together, Gates and French Gates announced an additional $15 billion to the foundation's endowment. Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman also announced that the foundation would expand its board of trustees. Currently, only Gates and French Gates are on the board of trustees, after Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett's resignation as trustee in June.
