Behind Bill Gates’ public persona as the co-founder of Microsoft, a tech tycoon, and a philanthropist, among other things, lies the duties of a father. The 67-year-old not only encourages his kids to learn and evolve but also imparts wisdom to the rest of the world. The billionaire and ex-wife Melinda are devoted parents to their children Rory, Phoebe, and Jennifer Gates. Jennifer, the eldest among all is a professional equestrian and has often seen receiving the most expensive gifts.

Jenn went to the prestigious Stanford University where she studied human biology from 2014-2018. Her passion for horses and horse riding compelled her to take a gap year to focus on her equestrian dreams. Jenn has previously mentioned taking up both medicine and equestrian dreams seriously while showing handwork to hone her skills. As a reward, Gates felicitated her with the most thoughtful gift on her big day. To celebrate her father and his immense support, Jenn expressed her thoughts on Father’s day.
