A new love story has begun between Bill Gates’ daughter and Paul McCartney’s grandson. It was Phoebe herself who announced her relationship after experiencing one of the most important days of her life, her graduation from Stanford University. She did so with a beautiful image — accompanied by some affectionate words — of the two of them together, in which Arthur Donald appears carrying her on his back.
“My boyfriend, Arthur, carrying me after the ceremony,” She wrote very happily along with the snapshot that Nylon Magazine has published, where the 21-year-old collaborates. It is not the only image that the daughter of the business magnate shared with her boyfriend, the first time was last October when the daughter of Bill and Melinda published a photograph of the two of them on her public profile. A few days later the couple attended the premiere of the series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. In fact, it was with this snapshot in which she appears in an elegant blue dress and which she titled as “Paris in the cinema”, with which they set off all the alarms and which gave rise to rumors of a possible courtship between them.
However, it was not until now that Phoebe confirmed her relationship with the word “boyfriend.” The young woman chose the day of her graduation in Human Biology — In his future he intends to combine his two passions: technology and fashion — to break the news. After receiving her degree, it was her mother, Melinda, 59, who gave an emotional speech detailing how proud her family is of her, since she graduated in three years instead of four. “I knew I had to do it and that I could because I wanted to see my mother give the speech this year as a graduate. I couldn’t think of a better ending,” explained Bill Gates’ daughter.

One of the first public appearances she made was in June 2022 when the daughter of one of the richest men in the world became the object of all eyes, monopolizing all the flashes at the gala organized by Time magazine in New York.

Gates’ children, Jennifer, Rory and Phoebe, have had an upbringing marked by discipline, for example, They were not allowed to have a mobile phone until they were fourteen. Both Bill and Melinda have said that they try to help their children find their own way in life, regardless of the advantages they may have from having their last name. In fact, the technology magnate has repeatedly said that his children will “only” inherit $10 million each, a more than considerable amount that could ensure their future. However, this amount would be insignificant if one takes into account that It’s less than 1 percent of Gates’ fortune.estimated at around 130,000 million dollars.
For his part, Arthur Donald is the eldest of Paul McCartney’s eight grandchildren. He is the firstborn of photographer Mary McCartney – the former Beatle’s first biological daughter with Linda McCartney – and her ex-husband, television producer Alistair Donald. He graduated in History from Yale University in 2021 and currently works as an investor in Collaborative Fund. Arthur’s aunt, the well-known designer Stella McCartney, is a good friend of Melissa Gates, Phoebe’s mother. “Even when I was little he sent me things and little notes and I was very excited. “We are deeply connected,” she once said. It also seems that Stella has been a great inspiration for Phoebe, who loves fashion.
