Jennifer Katharine Gates


Accomplished equestrian Jennifer Katharine Gates is the eldest daughter of business magnate Bill Gates and wife Melinda Gates. She has two other younger sisters, Pheobe and Rory, who, like her, share a minuscule portion of their father’s hundred billion net worth. However, despite being the heiress of their family’s fortune, she has kept a low profile, pursuing her own dreams.

In the meantime, the 24-year-old horseback rider is finishing Medical School in New York City after graduating with a degree in Human Biology at Stanford University. Although she is very passionate about horseback riding — perhaps more so than even her dad’s Microsoft empire — she was inspired by her childhood pediatrician to pursue a career in medicine. We’re not sure if she’ll be playing a role in Microsoft in the future, but what’s certain is that she’ll be having a successful career away from her father’s influence.
