Since founding Microsoft, Bill Gates has accumulated a massive fortune of $96.5 billion. Now known for their philanthropy efforts, the Gates family is currently ranked No. 2 among the world's richest people. Previous reporting from Business Insider's Tanza Loudenback said that the couple's oldest daughter Jennifer attended Stanford University. An accomplished equestrian, she is now 23 years old.
Rory, the couple's only son, turned in 18 in 2017. His younger sister Phoebe, still in high school, attends the private Lakeside High School in Seattle.
Bill and Melinda Gates — along with billionaire Warren Buffett — are responsible for the launch of the Giving Pledge, a pledge signed by some of the world's richest people who promise to give away the majority of their wealth. As reported by Business Insider's Áine Cain and Allana Akhtar, "Each of the Gates' kids will inherit about $10 million of their parents' $98.1 billion fortune, while much of the rest will go to charitable causes."
