Jennifer Gates Facts
- She began to learn horse riding at the age of around 6.
- Jennifer has recalled that she was brought up in a very humble and disciplined environment in which she was not allowed to use the cell phone until her teenage years and her screen time could be a maximum of 45 minutes on weekdays and 1 hour on weekends.
- She has affirmed that her parents have always had her back. When she was younger, they had told her to pursue whatever she was naturally drawn to, whether it was Mathematics, Science, reading, or writing. That would make Jennifer feel like she really had a strong foundation with them believing in her and ready to support her in any of her endeavors.
- Despite being the daughter of one of the richest men in the world, Jennifer has been noted to be down-to-earth, and humble. She has wished to work for children and animals and has been seen to devote as much time as possible to promote better working conditions for horses.
- Jennifer has aspired to be independent and successful like her father. She has been aware that she was born into a huge situation of privilege and she has wanted to use the opportunities that come with it to learn from them and find out the things she is passionate about.
- In 2017, her father Bill Gates had said on Reddit Ask Me Anything that all his children would receive $10 million as inheritance, which would be less than 1 percent of his total fortune.
