“I came in, I was like, ‘I’m so privileged, I’m a baby Nepo,” explained Phoebe. “I had so much uncertainty around that and I feel it is so difficult when you are a new man at college because you have no experience. You have nothing.”
Phoebe, youngest girl A bill and Melinda gates (split in 2021 after 27 years of marriage), graduated from Stanford University in June 2024.

Along with Phoebe, Melinda and founder of Microsoft share Jennifer’s daughter and her son Rory. Phoebe, with the careers of her brothers and sisters, added that “this harmful risk of failure” was not as working on.
