Bill Gates and his estranged wife Melinda are in the middle of dividing up their marital assets and they are set to fight over the property including one of Leonardo da Vinci's original notebooks. 

The New York Times published an article detailing the secrets behind the scenes of Bill and Melinda's divorce proceedings. Earlier this month, she filed for divorce from the Microsoft founder after 27 years of marriage.

In the NY Times piece, it was revealed the couple have a lot of unique properties and assets. The couple owns a large stake in the Four Seasons hotel chain, they are "considered the largest private owner of farmland" in the U.S., and they even have Buffalo Bill's famed Wyoming ranch in their real estate portfolio.

The details of the division of their assets have yet to be revealed. The two have been itching to get rid of the other for years. Back in 2019, Melinda hired divorce lawyers to start the process. She was furious with Bill after finding out he was still hanging out with convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein
