Bill Gates’ Daughter Phoebe Shares How It Feels Introducing Guys to Her Father—
Phoebe Gates gets a kick out of introducing guys to her famous father, Bill Gates.
The daughter of the Microsoft co-founder and Melinda French Gates was asked during a recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast about the pressure of her dad meeting the guys she likes.
“I think terrifying for the guy,” the 22-year-old told host Alex Cooper.
“For me, (it’s) hilarious because my dad’s pretty socially awkward,” she continued. “To me, it’s so funny. But for guys, I think they get really wigged out.”
