How Did Jennifer Katharine Gates Make Her Money & Wealth?

In this case, Jennifer made essentially all of her money based solely on coming from a very rich family. Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world for years, with a staggering net worth of $87.3 billion. Most of this money is the result of his having founded Microsoft back in the seventies. However, it is not just Bill who has brought wealth to the Gates family. Bill’s wife (and Jennifer’s mother, of course) Melinda has a net worth around $70 million, and served as a project manager of various Microsoft services.

As for Jennifer herself, she was born on April 26th, 1996, which makes her 21 years old at time of writing. She was born in Bellevue, Washington, a mid-sized city across Lake Washington from Seattle. She currently attends Stanford University, one of the largest, most prestigious, and most expensive universities in the United States.

According to Jennifer’s classmates at Stanford, it is not unusual to be in the midst of the daughter of the world’s richest man because there are so many other high-profile students attending the university. For example, Charles Schwab’s granddaughter can be seen walking around the campus at Stanford, as well as Tom Hanks’ son. In the case of extremely famous Stanford attendees, such as Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea who attended years ago, there is often added security to make sure the students in question are not hassled.
