Melinda was spotted at the Zero Bond club in NYC. Kind of fitting since she arrived in a motorcade fit for a Bond villain. Don't think for a second, though, she's out clubbing at 56!

It's a private membership venue with different types of spaces that are mainly used for business meetings or social gatherings. Interestingly enough she could've been having a couple of cocktails or seeing a business associate, and we'll never really know!

Unsurprisingly we know pretty much the same about Bill Gates now as we did when he was "happily married". There have been rumors circling around some of his escapades in earlier life.
