Bill and Melinda’s youngest child, Phoebe Adele Gates, was born on September 14, 2002. And unlike her parents or siblings, she seems to have an inclination towards fashion! In 2022, she did an internship with British Vogue and was very happy about it. Expressing her gratitude, she had posted on Instagram, “Thank you @britishvogue for giving me the internship of a lifetime. It was an honor to work with some of the best in the business and learn from you all.”

Apart from it, Phoebe also shares her love for reading with her father Bill Gates, who is known to be an avid reader. In a 2018 Instagram post, Bill had shared that he and Phoebe loved “reading all kinds of books,” and that John Green was one of their favourite authors at the time.

Being a Gen Z, Phoebe Gates is quite active on social media, especially TikTok. “People have a lot of preconceptions about me, so TikTok has been a chance for me to tell my own story and also use the attention my family name might bring to spotlight issues that are important to me, like women’s health and sustainable fashion,” she told The Information in a March 2023 interview.

In June 2024, Phoebe graduate from Stanford University.

In April 2025, Phoebe and her friend Sophia Kianni launched The Burnouts podcast under Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network. They also co–founded Phia — which is a sustainable fashion platform, expectd to be launched later in 2025, Medium reported.

Phoebe is dating Arthur Donald, who is Paul McCartney’s grandson, as per Nylon.
