Bill Gates' Reaction to Phoebe, his Daughter, and her New Fashion Website

According to a US media outlet, Phoebe Gates, the youngest daughter of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, recently disclosed that her rich father had been apprehensive when she initially chose to pursue entrepreneurship. Phoebe revealed that at first, her parents, Bill and Melinda French Gates, were concerned about her desire to pursue entrepreneurship. She stated that when she initially made her professional decision, her father questioned her if she was certain she wanted to pursue this. Phoebe's education has to be finished first, according to Bill and Melinda Gates. After earning a degree in human biology from Stanford University in the spring of 2024, Phoebe Gates is now pursuing a career in sustainable design with her new business, Phia.

‘The Burnouts’ the Podcast

Phoebe also launched her podcast, "The Burnouts", with her business partner Sophia Kianni. The 22-year-old Gates family member talked about her new fashion company endeavour and her fears of being a nepotism product. She claimed that being called a "nepo baby" had made her uneasy, but she was also driven to establish her worth. She claimed that although she is extremely privileged to be from the Gates family, this is not what defines her. She wants to diverge from that and have her own identity and personality. How can she accomplish that in a way that will result in some kind of change? The answer is with the help of "The Burnouts" and "Phia".

Close Bond with Stella McCartney

Phoebe acknowledged that she came to understand that the children of wealthy and well-known people might go their own way because of her mother's association with Stella McCartney. Regarding McCartney, the daughter of The Beatles icon Paul McCartney who has achieved fame as a fashion designer, Phoebe told a media outlet, "She and my mum are actually good friends."

"Even as a little child, I would become really pleased when mother sent me things and brief comments. I have been requesting to meet with my mother for ages.

"I think we are really deeply connected because that's a lot of what I think about. 'Okay, I'm my parents' daughter, which gives me immense privilege, but that's not what I'm defined by,'" Phoebe continued.

Phoebe clarified that she frequently views situations from the perspective that there is no hidden cost. It's simple to look back and believe that the various areas we study—such as human biology and law—do not necessarily directly link to the fashion tech work we're doing now. Additionally, she believes it's critical for people to understand that you can always alter course. You can always decide right away to do something quite different from what you're doing right now.
