Early Life

Phoebe Adele Gates was born in Media, Washington State United States, on 14 September 2002. She was raised in Media by her parents, who met while they were both working at Microsoft, however, it was mostly her mother Melinda who raised her as her father was busy working most of the time.

Phoebe Adele Gates attended Professional Children’s School located in New York, and as she has been interested in dance and music since a very early age, she has attended several arts schools such as the American Ballet Theatre, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as well as Juilliard School. She is currently attending the same school which her father and her siblings attended in the past, which is Lakeside School (private).

She has a brother named Rory John Gates, and a sister Jennifer Katharine Gates. While her siblings have already moved out, Phoebe is living with her parents in their $120 million-valued house, which has a gym, a swimming pool with its underwater sound system, and a huge library among other things. It is believed that the expenses for maintaining the house for a year are over $1 million, while the yearly taxes cost more than that.

Personal

Phoebe is a huge fan of dancing and music, and some of her favorite genres are rock and blues while her favorite dance style is Ballet. She also enjoys watching operas as she sees it as a great mix of story-telling and singing. She is interested in the film industry, more so because her brother is an actor.

Her favorite actor and actress are Johnny Depp and Marilyn Monroe, while some of her favorite movies include “Edward Scissorhands”, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”, and the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.

Phoebe is also very sporting, as she is playing several sports at her school such as soccer and volleyball.

She is interested in Photography, often attends exhibitions organized in her hometown, and has her own camera (and a very expensive one!).

She is currently seeing a boy who is attending Lakeside School as well, and that the two have been together for more than two years. She has been seen walking the streets with the boy in question, and it’s known that he spends a lot of time with Phoebe and her parents at their home.

Upbringing

Despite being born to the richest man in the world, Phoebe Adele Gates, like her older siblings, had a comparatively normal upbringing and had to follow strict rules set by her father.

For instance, Bill didn't allow his kids to have mobile phones before the age of 13.

Moreover, even after getting their own phones, they would have limited access to it for a long time.

Even when it comes to deciding the future of his enormous fortune, Bill has made it clear that he will be giving away most of his wealth to charities, rather than spoiling his children with luxuries.

Her father also often takes the kids to different parts of the world, especially developing countries where his charities primarily offer services, to make them aware of the poverty and sufferings of the common people.

Career

Phoebe might still be too young to launch a career in any field, but it is known that she is planning on enrolling at college after her matriculation.

She is interested in becoming a professional dancer and a singer, and has $10 million to help her start her career.

Bill Gates has allowed his children to inherit $10 million each, but not more even though his net worth is huge, his children are okay with this, and have spoken in an interview of how they would like to make their own money anyway.

Phoebe’s sister Jennifer studied to become a biologist at Stanford University, but then decided to become an equestrian (horse rider). Phoebe’s brother Rory has become an actor.

Phoebe Adele Gates is the youngest daughter of American billionaire businessman and philanthropist, Bill Gates, and his wife, Melinda Gates. While she is still a student, she can sometimes be seen on media reports accompanying her parents. She reportedly shares her parents' passion for making positive changes in the world and often participates in various charitable events organized by Bill and Melinda Gates. She is also training as a ballet dancer at a couple prestigious institutions in New York City. 'Wonderslist' website had ranked her 10th on the list of 10 most powerful kids in the world under 12.

Mistaken Identity

One of the side effects of Phoebe Adele Gates' shielded upbringing is that there is a lot of confusion on the internet over her actual appearance.

As the eldest child of the family, her sister, Jennifer often accompanies her father to various events, which is why she is the most accessible of her siblings for the media.

Unfortunately, some websites on the internet blatantly use the readily available pictures of Jennifer in articles about Phoebe.

Interestingly, before Jennifer had a noticeable presence on social media, some media outlets had spread the pictures of American actress and model Rachael Leigh Cook [17] as Jennifer's. What is more striking is that some websites, to this day, use Rachael's picture to represent both the Gates sisters.

Net Worth

Her net worth is over $10 million, as of early 2020.
