Bill Gates' Daughter Phoebe: From Billionaire Privilege to Tech Entrepreneur!
THE BILLION-DOLLAR BRAT: PHOEBE GATES' LAVISH LIFESTYLE AND HER PLAN TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Meet Phoebe Gates, the 22-year-old Stanford University graduate who's got it all - or so it seems. As the daughter of tech billionaire Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda, Phoebe has grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her family's $131 million mansion, dubbed "Xanadu 2.0," is a real-life fantasy come true, complete with seven bathrooms, 24 bedrooms, six kitchens, an at-home movie theater, gym, and trampoline room - yes, you read that right!
But Phoebe isn't just a pampered princess; she's also a budding entrepreneur who's determined to forge her own path in life. Alongside her Stanford roommate Sophia Kianni, she launched the e-commerce startup app Phia earlier this year. The platform allows shoppers to compare prices of new and used items across 40,000 selling sites - genius, right? And here's the best part: Phoebe raised the capital independently, securing $850,000 in funding from various investors.
So, what drives this young socialite and entrepreneur? In an interview with WWD, Phoebe admitted that her privileged upbringing has given her immense privilege, but it's not what defines her. She wants to make a difference and leave her own mark on the world - and we can't blame her for wanting to create a legacy of her own.
But don't get us wrong; Phoebe isn't just about business and charity work. She's also got a flair for fashion, regularly attending glamorous events in designer outfits that are simply jaw-dropping. Her Instagram feed is a treasure trove of style inspiration, featuring everything from Gucci to Louis Vuitton. And it seems she's rubbing shoulders with the A-list crowd, too - we spotted her at some exclusive fashion events and summits earlier this year.
Despite her high-society lifestyle, Phoebe has spoken out about the challenges of being a public figure with a famous father. In an appearance on Netflix's docuseries What's Next? The Future With Bill Gates, she revealed that she often faces criticism and conspiracy theories about her dad - including the bizarre claim that he's trying to microchip people through vaccines! Yeah, we know, it sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie.
But Phoebe isn't letting the negativity get her down. In fact, she's quite close to her dad, who's spoken about his plans for leaving his vast fortune behind when he passes away. Bill Gates has announced that he'll be giving away 99 percent of his $200 billion fortune - yes, you read that right! - through various charitable initiatives, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
And here's a juicy tidbit: Phoebe has been spotted on a romantic date with none other than Arthur Donald, the grandson of Paul McCartney. Could this be the start of a new celebrity romance? Only time will tell!
As for Phoebe's future plans, we can't wait to see what she does next. With her entrepreneurial spirit and passion for making a difference, we're confident that she'll go on to achieve great things - and look fabulous doing it!
