On May 10, local time, Bill Gates appeared outside the high-end restaurant "Marea" on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, in formal clothes, and he and his family came here to celebrate after attending the graduation ceremony of his eldest daughter Jennifer Gates.
With a drizzle in the sky, the 68-year-old Microsoft founder looks like a billionaire, and it's understandable that his bodyguards hold an umbrella for him.
When the heroine of the day appeared on the stage, she smiled even brighter.
Jennifer, 27, graduated from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai on the same day, completing six years of study and becoming a resident in the Mount Sinai Pediatric Program.
Jennifer's sister, 21-year-old Phoebe Gates, shared a picture of her sister's graduation ceremony on her social media, and attached the text "She is a doctor", she is very proud of her sister.
It is unclear whether Jennifer, who has qualified as a resident doctor, will go to work as scheduled, after all, she still has a one-year-old daughter named Leila to take care of.
Jennifer and her Egyptian-born husband Nayer Nassar currently live in a penthouse apartment worth $51 million (about 370 million RMB) in New York. Although her father has said he will donate his billions of dollars in the future "to avoid spoiling his children," his children are clearly enjoying the prosperity.
Phoebe, who is currently studying at Stanford University in California, also appeared outside the restaurant that day, along with her mother, Melinda Franz Gates.
Despite attending prestigious schools, Phoebe spends more time partying, apparently preferring to be a socialite with social media influence, although it is widely believed that her appearance and temperament are too ordinary to boast about other than the aura of a "rich dad". But I have to say, that one point is enough.
Phoebe, 21, dressed a little more maturely and seemed to be working hard for occasions like graduation, but Melinda, 59, was a different story, with a bright halterneck dress that made her look radiant. It is reported that Melinda usually does not have many opportunities to get together with her ex-husband, there is nothing important, and they are no longer husband and wife, and they try not to see each other as much as possible, and this reunion for the sake of their daughter can be regarded as a long time ago.
During her marriage to her billionaire husband, Melinda was rarely concerned about her appearance, in fact, she preferred a modest and simple look at the time, but now she prefers to have her presence valued.
When Melinda went out before, she wore a large diamond ring on her left ring finger, and there were rumors of engagement for this. But she soon clarified through a person familiar with the matter that not only did the engagement not exist, but even the journalist boyfriend she had previously dated had become a thing of the past. That said, Melinda is now single, but as she once said in an interview with Gail King, "I still crave love!" ”。
Relatively speaking, Gates was lucky after separating from his ex-wife, and soon found his other half, Paula Hurd, the widow of former Oracle CEO Mark Hurd. Although the two have not reached the level of talking about marriage, their relationship is still stable, and they have "officially announced" each other's existence as lovers.
But perhaps to express his determination to put his family first, Gates didn't bring his girlfriend with him this time.
