Bill and Melinda Gates' divorce seems to have opened Pandora's box regarding the former couples' personal life.

The latest news doing rounds is that the Microsoft co-founder was dating many women secretly and devised a system to cover his tracks.

Bill Gates would drive to work at Microsoft in his Mercedes only to leave an hour later in a golden-brown Porsche that an assistant brought for him, according to a report published in Vanity Fair magazine.
