Bill Gates’ Family
Everyone knows who Bill Gates is. He’s the co-founder of Microsoft. He is a successful
businessman. And he also has a happy family.
Bill Gates’ wife Melinda is good at computers and she once worked in Microsoft. She is
a smart and hard-working woman. She also cares about others. She and her husband are
doing charitable work. They are trying to make our world better.
They have three children — two daughters and one son.
Their elder daughter, Jennifer, was born in 1996. She likes horse-back riding. She often
goes to different competitions and wins.
Their son, Rory, was born in 1999. He is interested in science. One interesting fact about
him is that he got his first phone at the age of 13. His parents believe that it is the right age
to have a phone.
Their little daughter, Phoebe, is 18 years old. She is doing a good job in her studies. And
she is good at dancing and art.
Although Bill Gates is one of the richest people in the world, his children never show off
their wealth. And they support their parents’ wish to help poor people in the world.
