This famous house is ‘earth-sheltered’ and has six kitchens. The kitchens are in different parts of the house so that the staff is always prepared for an event.

Protected childhood

 

 

Bill and Melinda Gates have been very conservatives about their kids and have kept them away from the limelight for years. None of the children, including Rory, was allowed to use a cellphone till they were 13. Rory always asked his father for a phone because his friends have one, but he wasn’t allowed until 13. Their parents tried to give them a normal upbringing and always taught them value for money. Rory was allowed a cellphone to himself in 2012 as he turned 13. He might have had access to phones from his friends, but he couldn’t use it officially till he turned a teenager.

Knowing the value of charity

Bill Gates has announced that the maximum of his earnings will go into charity, and all his kids agree to this decision. He will not give a lot of his property to his children and wants them to make a career of their own. Like every father, Bill Gates feels that his kids have the potential to become independent on their own and work hard as he did.Rory is known to contribute 1/3rd of his pocket money to charity as the parents instilled this gesture from a young age. Rather than being consumed by social media, the young man is seen volunteering to solve global issues like diseases and poverty.The estimated Rory John Gates net worth is $20 million or $200 Lakhs (Converted by MeraCalculator). But like his father, he also does a lot of charity. 

Rory John Gates life

Rory John Gates makes the media curious because he is the only boy of Bill Gates. Moreover, he is said to take over Microsoft in the coming years. He has completed his education from Duke University and got degrees in computer science and economics. He then pursued an MBA degree from Fuqua School of Business. Even though his education is almost over, the Gates family has told the media that Rory John Gates is still studying. Other than academics, he is also interested in writing and was known to write a seven-line poem when he was 10 years old. He had named it ‘What’s Known As Diamante’. Other than this, there isn’t much information about his life and career. While most rich kids are known to have a social media presence, Rory has been far away from media and controversies. There has never been any news related to his personal life, girlfriends, or friends. He has been a very private person and even more than his sisters. Rory has a pretty decent height of 5 ft 5 inches and weighs 52 kg. His hair is naturally grey and color of eyes is brown. We’re waiting for him to come on Instagram and share details about his personal and professional life. His sister Jennifer Katherine Gates is pretty active on Instagram and puts her life out there. The future of Microsoft Since both the Gates sisters are not interested in tech, they are less likely to follow their father’s path. On the contrary, reports suggest that Rory will soon join his father in his business and continue to expand it.Even when Bill Gates plans to give away most of his fortune to the needy, his children know how they want to keep their legacy alive. Rory has to be much more headstrong to take the company ahead than what Bill did. Bill might not be the second richest after donating most of his fortune. But Rory can again bring the company to the top and bring back all the fortune. We have to wait and watch to see what the Gates family has planned for their future. The kids are still young to decide what they want to do in life, but they are worth the wait.
