From the linked article:

Another ex, Jill Bennett — described as his “first serious girlfriend” — said they split because of Gates’ fixation with working long hours.

“In the end, it was difficult to sustain a relationship with someone who could boast a ‘seven-hour turnaround’ — meaning that from the time he left Microsoft to the time he returned in the morning was a mere seven hours,” she told Wallace.

I don't see that being a "womanizer" is in any way incompatible with being a workaholic.



Again. He claimed not a single day off, which is insanely unhealthy and almost certainly untrue if he had time for naked pool parties.

I’m not claiming he was lazy, just asking “why take his provable lie at face value?”
