What is Phoebe Gates' net worth?
Phoebe Gates is an American celebrity heiress who has a net worth of $20 million. Phoebe Gates is best known for being the youngest child of Bill Gates and Melinda Gates. Their other children are Jennifer Katharine Gates and Rory John Gates.
Phoebe was born on September 14, 2002, in Seattle, Washington. Like her siblings Jennifer and Rory, she grew up in the family's high-tech mansion in Medina, Washington, though her parents worked to provide as normal an upbringing as possible despite their extraordinary wealth.
She attended Lakeside School in Seattle, the same prestigious private school that her father and siblings attended. Throughout her education, she has shown a particular interest in dance and the arts. She studied at the School of American Ballet at Lincoln Center and the Juilliard School in New York City, developing her skills as a ballet dancer.
Following her high school graduation, Phoebe enrolled at Stanford University, where she has been pursuing her undergraduate studies. Like her sister Jennifer, she chose to attend their mother's alma mater. At Stanford, she has shown interest in social causes and public health issues, following somewhat in her family's philanthropic footsteps while developing her own voice and interests.

Phoebe has become increasingly active on social media platforms, where she often uses her platform to advocate for causes she believes in, particularly women's rights and reproductive healthcare. Unlike many children of billionaires who maintain strict privacy, she has chosen to engage more openly with the public on issues she's passionate about.
She has also shown interest in her parents' philanthropic work through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, though like her siblings, she's working to forge her own path. She has been vocal about various social issues and has used her platform to raise awareness about global inequality and public health challenges.
Despite growing up in one of the world's wealthiest families, Phoebe has spoken about how her parents instilled strong values regarding education, hard work, and giving back to society. Like her siblings, she was raised with relatively strict rules about technology use and wasn't given a phone until her early teens, despite her father's role in the tech industry.
Phoebe represents a new generation of the Gates family, one that has grown up in the social media age and appears comfortable using that platform to advocate for social change. While benefiting from her family's resources and connections, she is working to establish her own identity and voice in the world, particularly in advocacy for women's rights and social justice issues.
