Bill Gates’ Daughter Reveals What Really Happens When Guys Meet Her Billionaire Dad
HuffPost
Phoebe Gates, 22, recently sat down on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast and was more than willing to share what it's like to bring potential boyfriends home.
Billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates’ daughter, 22-year-old Phoebe Gates, recently sat down on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast and confirmed that introducing potential boyfriends to her father is just as unpleasant as it is for everyone else.
Well, especially for her dates.
“I think, terrifying, for the guy. For me? Hilarious,” the younger Gates told host Alex Cooper during an interview released Wednesday. “Because my dad’s, like, pretty socially awkward; he’s said he has Asperger’s. To me, it’s so funny, but for guys, I think they get, like, really wigged out.”
Bill Gates has never publicly spoken about having Asperger’s syndrome, but wrote in his recent memoir, “Source Code: My Beginnings,” that he “probably would be diagnosed on the autism spectrum” today.
Phoebe Gates, meanwhile, has started dating British investor Arthur Donald, 26, the grandson of none other than Beatles legend Paul McCartney. While it’s unclear whether Donald was ever subject to an awkward intro, Gates recalled being embarrassed after Melinda French, her mother, signed her now-ex-husband up to drive her and a date to a high school dance.
