Bill and Melinda Gates announced split Monday

Tech pioneer Bill Gates and his wife Melinda, who announced their split after 27-years of marriage today, seemingly have no prenup agreement set up.

News of their divorce surprised many, and, as is often the case with high-profile and wealthy couples, the public immediately began to speculate over the financial implications of the divorce.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the two have no prenup in place.

The outlet reports that their court filing mentions the divorce only in their separation agreement.
