Bill Gates’ single son is praised by his mother for advocating women‘s rights.
Rory John Gates, the private 25-year-old son of billionaire Bill Gates, is known for his low profile and avoidance of media and social events. Born on May 23, 1999, in Seattle, Rory grew up in the lavish 66,000-square-foot mansion, Xanadu 2.0, with his two sisters, Jennifer and Phoebe. Despite the family’s wealth, Bill and Melinda Gates instilled a sense of humility and responsibility in their children, even restricting gadget use and involving them in household chores.
Though he rarely makes public appearances, Rory and his mother attended a White House reception in May for Kenyan President William Ruto, coinciding with his birthday. An alum of Lakeside School and Duke University, Rory has followed his mother’s path in academics, earning a double major and an MBA. Known for his compassion and support for women’s rights, Rory Gates seems to reflect his parents’ philanthropic values and disciplined upbringing.
