www.dailymail.co.uk, March 6, 2023
Jennifer, 26, reported the birth of her first child - a baby girl whose name has not been revealed - along with her partner, Olympic showjumper Nayel Nassar - over the weekend. And though the current member of the Gates family's fortune has a whopping net worth of $107 billion, it's likely that she will not be getting much of the Microsoft founder's fame, and that even once promised to help the homeless rather than his own children. When raising their children, Bill and his ex-wife, Melinda Gates, who died in May 2021 after 27 years of marriage, did their best to give their three children, Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe, a normal childhood, causing many to wonder if Jennifer will take the same approach with her daughter. And despite Bill's pledged that his children will'create their own path' and that they won't get a cut of his billions, they have certainly benefited from being a member of the wealthy family. Jennifer, who is now attending an advanced education, not one, but two luxurious homes over the years, including a $16 million horse farm in upstate New York and a $51 million penthouse apartment in Manhattan, were both gifted last year, and she had a $2 million, multi-day wedding last year. FEMAIL has taken a look inside Jennifer's glamorous life, despite Bill's continued assertion that his offspring must forge their own way, and she has detailed what that entails for her newborn baby.
