Despite hailing from one of the richest and most successful couples on the planet, Phoebe Gates has adamantly stated that she wants to 'be her own person' and 'branch away' from her parents - billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates and ex-wife philanthropist Melinda Gates - and she's done just that.
At age 21, the college student and aspiring designer has already achieved a lot: she has made waves in the world of fashion - receiving invites to coveted New York and Paris Fashion Week shows, elite parties, and star-studded events - as well as racking up some celebrity friends along the way, becoming a viral social media star, and even landing an internship at British Vogue.
And while some may argue that she has gotten to where she is thanks to her wealthy background, both Bill and Melinda have continuously insisted that they are working hard to ensure that their kids 'create their own path.'
In fact, Bill - who has a whopping net worth of $107 billion - has voiced his fears over his kids becoming 'distorted' over 'wealth' on numerous occasions, and he once vowed to use his immense fortune to 'help the poor' rather than his own children.

At age 21, the daughter of Bill and Melinda Gates has already achieved a lot - she has received invites to New York and Paris Fashion Weeks, and even landed an internship at British Vogue
While some may argue that she has gotten to where she is thanks to her wealthy background, both Bill and Melinda have insisted that they want their kids to 'create their own path'
While raising their children, the former couple - who split in May 2021 after 27 years of marriage - did their best to give their three kids - Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe - a normal childhood.
They made them do chores and split the household work as evenly as possible, while tech mogul Bill has even admitted that he was a stickler about screen time - and didn't allow his kids to have phones until they were age 14.
From what it was really like to grow up in one of the richest families in the world to the strides she's made to become a successful fashion designer to her close bond with her parents - take a look into Phoebe's luxurious life
The exes may have tried to raise their kids as modestly as possible, but their living situation was far from humble. The family grew up in a $131 million mansion in Medina, Washington, that came complete with seven bathrooms, 24 bathrooms, and six kitchens, as well as its own man-made beach, at-home movie theater, gym, and trampoline room.
The property is nicknamed 'Xanadu 2.0,' a reference to the fictional estate in the movie Citizen Kane.
Now, it seems as though Phoebe is still living a pretty lavish lifestyle - which is much more glamorous than the average college student.
She often jets off on extravagant trips around the globe - and makes sure to document her endeavors on her Instagram account, where she has gained more than 314,000 followers.
Phoebe has been adamant about wanting to find success on her own, and not because of her parents. But the 21-year-old has followed in their footsteps in one department - becoming a fierce women's rights advocate just like her mother.
As she continues to speak out about issues like the abortion ban and voters' rights, FEMAIL has rounded up everything you need to know about the youngest Gates child.
From what it was really like to grow up in one of the richest families in the world to the strides she's made to become a successful fashion designer and her close bond with her parents, here's an inside look into Phoebe's luxurious life.
Billionaires Bill and Melinda did their best to give Phoebe a modest childhood - restricting screen time and making her do chores - despite her growing up in a $131 million mega-mansion

Phoebe was born on September 14, 2002, and she is the youngest of Melinda and Bill's three kids.
Faith was also a huge part of Phoebe's childhood, with Bill telling Rolling Stone in 2014: 'We've raised our kids in a religious way. They've gone to the Catholic church that Melinda goes to and I participate in'
Despite being one of the richest couples in the world, the billionaire parents did their best to give their kids a normal childhood, and were even pretty strict - making them do daily chores, limiting screen time, and not letting them get phones until age 14.
Melinda spoke out making her kids help with household work in her 2019 book, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes The World, and she explained that it was important to her since cleaning and cooking traditionally falls on women more than men.
She also recalled the moment that she decided it was time to divvy up the chores equally to Business Insider in 2019, explaining, 'One night I realized I was still in the kitchen a good 10, 15 minutes after everybody else doing the last-minute things.
'Sometimes in the moment my frustration or anger just comes out. So one night we stood up after dinner and people in the family started to melt away, like, off they go upstairs.
While chatting to a crowd of Harvard students in 2018, the Microsoft founder revealed that he and his ex-wife used the 1970s 'Love and Logic' parenting style while raising their three kids
'We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything, but not a lot of money showered on them,' Bill explained. Phoebe is seen as a kid
It was revealed in 2014 that Bill will be leaving most of his fortune - estimated to be about $107 billion - to his family's foundation, rather than his kids. Jennifer and Phoebe are seen as kids
'So hand on my hips, I'm, like, "Nobody leaves the kitchen until I leave the kitchen."'
She added that washing dishes together after dinner became a Gates family tradition after that.
Bill - the creator of one of the biggest tech giants on the globe - once revealed that he was a stickler about screen time when his kids were growing up, explaining that he started limiting his children's use of electronics after he noticed that one of his daughters had become obsessed with a video game.
He also said he didn't let his kids get cell phones until they turned 14 and never allowed phone use at the dinner table.
'We often set a time after which there is no screen time and in their case that helps them get to sleep at a reasonable hour,' he explained to the Mirror.
'You're always looking at how it can be used in a great way – homework and staying in touch with friends – and also where it has gotten to excess.
'We don't have cellphones at the table when we are having a meal, we didn't give our kids cellphones until they were 14 and they complained other kids got them earlier.'
Bill said: 'It's not a favor to kids to have them have huge sums of wealth. It distorts anything they might do, creating their own path'

While chatting to a crowd of Harvard students in 2018, the Microsoft founder revealed that he and his ex-wife used the 1970s 'Love and Logic' parenting style while raising their three kids.
'Parents should provide an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and empathy while allowing the natural consequences of a child's behavior and actions to do the teaching,' MedicineNet.com says of the technique.
'We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything, but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing,' Bill explained.
It was revealed in 2014 that Bill will be leaving most of his fortune - estimated to be about $111 billion - to his family's foundation, rather than his kids.
'Our kids will receive a great education and some money so they are never going to be poorly off but they'll go out and have their own career,' he explained to This Morning in 2017.
'It's not a favor to kids to have them have huge sums of wealth. It distorts anything they might do, creating their own path.
'This money is dedicated to helping the poorest. They know that, they are proud of that, they go on trips with us to see the work that's being done.'
When she was younger, she dreamed of being a professional dancer, and spent time studying at the School of American Ballet at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City
She also had a love of reading from a young age - something that she got from her father. She is seen (right) with her siblings
While it seemed as though the family tried to raise their kids as modestly as possible, their living situation was far from humble.
The family grew up in a $131 million mansion in Medina, Washington, which Bill purchased in 1988 and spent seven years transforming into his dream home.
The 66,000-square-foot sprawling abode comes with seven bathrooms, 24 bathrooms, and six kitchens, as well as its own artificial stream (stocked with fish), a man-made beach with sand imported from the Caribbean, a 60-foot swimming pool with an underwater music system, a 200-guest reception hall, a 20-seat movie theater, an at-home gym, and a trampoline room.

'My daughter Phoebe and I love reading all kinds of books,' he once gushed on Instagram.
Phoebe is now a student at Stanford University and has made waves in the fashion world, interning at British Vogue and attending New York and Paris Fashion Weeks
After graduating from high school in 2021, Phoebe put her ballerina aspirations on hold, and instead, decided to head to Stanford University, where she switched her focus to fashion
She told WWD that she's always been interested in clothes, but after bonding with a fellow student who was pursuing it as a career, she realized she wanted to make it her job one day

After graduating from high school in 2021, Phoebe put her ballerina aspirations on hold, and instead, decided to head to Stanford University, where she switched her focus to fashion.
She told WWD last year that she's always been interested in clothes, but after bonding with a fellow student who was pursuing it as a career, she realized she wanted to make it her full-time job one day.
'I was like, "Wait, you can do that at this age?" And I remember being so excited,' she gushed to the outlet. 'I've always been interested in sketching and design and I'm a huge writer.'
Last summer, she interned with British Vogue, who sent her to Copenhagen to cover Fashion Week.
And the trip further cemented her passion. She explained: 'It was super interesting, and it was where I was like, "OK, I want to do a bunch more stuff."'
'There is some toxicity in the industry and I have a huge interest in women's health as well, so I wanted to work somewhere where it didn't feel like those were confounding with each other,' she added of her internship.
'I really liked British Vogue because of [editor] Edward [Enninful's] work and he's so progressive with the magazine, so that was a huge choice for me.'
She grew close to Paul McCartney's daughter, designer Stella McCartney, after the two were introduced by her mother - who has also inspired her to want to go on her own path
'I'm my parents' daughter, that gives me immense privilege, but it's not what I'm defined by,' she has said. 'I want to have my own identity, I want to be my own person'
Stella invited Phoebe to attend her show at Paris Fashion Week last fall, where she wowed in a black bra, leather jacket, and white trousers
She grew close to Paul McCartney's daughter, designer Stella McCartney, after the two were introduced by her mother - who has also inspired her to want to go on her own path, rather than following in her parents' footsteps.
'When I was little she would send me stuff and little notes and I'd be so excited. I've been asking my mom forever and ever if I could meet with her,' Phoebe said.
'I felt very connected to her, I feel like because she's been able to use the platform she had, because of who her dad is, and then she took that and instead of being like, "Oh, people define me by this," she took it and she was like, "OK, I have this immense privilege, now I'm going to use it to leverage something."
'What she chose to leverage is to launch a brand that is completely sustainable. So I think we are really deeply connected because that's a lot of what I think about.
Since then, she's continued to make waves in the fashion world, attending numerous events in eye-popping outfits. She's seen at a fashion show last fall
Earlier this month, she attended the Michael Kors runway show at New York Fashion Week in a piercing red dress with a plunging neckline
'Like, "OK, I'm my parents' daughter, that gives me immense privilege, but it's not what I'm defined by."
She also wowed when she walked the red carpet at the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women Gala days later, putting on a daring display in a torso-baring gown
'I want to have my own identity, I want to be my own person, I want to branch away from that, but how do I do that in a way where I can yield some sort of change?'
Stella invited Phoebe to attend her show at Paris Fashion Week last fall, where she wowed in a black bra, leather jacket, and white trousers - which contained an intricate painting of a bird on them.
'They had a ton of different options and they put outfits together, but I was like, "I kind of want to do something more va-va-voom that stands out,"' she recalled of picking out the outfit.
'I went through the stuff and I was like, "I think it'd be really fun to do a bra with the leather jacket." So I did that and I love the hummingbird pants so much, they are so sexy and fun.'
Since then, she's continued to make waves in the fashion world, attending numerous events in eye-popping outfits.

Phoebe mingled with some of Hollywood's most elite at the event, as a slew of other stars were in attendance, including Salma Hayek, Christy Turlington, Florence Welch, Olivia Wilde, Zoe Kravitz, Nicole Kidman, Gayle King, Karlie Kloss, and Kim Kardashian, among others.

She often posts about the topic on her social media, especially amid the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year.
Last June, she shared a photo of herself posing in a bikini as a way to bring 'attention' to the negative impacts that the ban on abortion could have on women across the United States.
'I'm not shy about my body and/or telling you to keep your bans off of it,' she captioned the post.
'Every person deserves access to sexual and reproductive health care. Right now, the Supreme Court is prepared to end the constitutional right to abortion. Join me and millions of other women in our fight for this basic human right.'
She then shared a series of resources and statistics to her Stories, adding: 'Now that I have your attention, [read] this.'
The college student has also posted about a series of other political topics like immigration status and its effects on healthcare, as well as voters' rights.

In addition, she often re-shares posts from her mom, Melinda - who is a self-described global advocate for women and girls.
While penning a powerful essay about women's rights to Vogue last July, Phoebe spoke about the enormous impact her mother has had on her, explaining: 'When you're Melinda's daughter, it's easy to be passionate about reproductive health.
'My mom is my hero. She's a brilliant reformer who travels around the world advocating for gender equality.
'When I started college last year, I wanted to become an advocate, like my mom. So I tried to learn as much as I could about making policy, finding the best data, gathering the best ideas, and educating the right people.
'I'm only 19 years old, and I don't know where life will take me, especially not decades from now.
'But I am sure of this: Wherever I end up, I'll still be working to ensure [women's rights].'
The 21-year-old has a close bond with her parents and siblings - but is especially tight with her mom, jetting off on numerous mother-daughter trips together over the years

She's also posted a few clips of her billionaire Microsoft founder father being a normal dad - which gained millions of views.
Her most viewed TikTok is a clip of her dad trying out something he had gotten for Christmas called the Box Ball - a small, red ball that's attached via a bungee chord to a headband.
In the hilarious, seven-second video, which has now been viewed more than eight million times, Bill could be seen attempting to punch the ball but missing it most of the time.
While chatting with The Information, she explained that while she knows most people come to her page because they want a glimpse into her family, she thinks they 'stick around' for her other content.
'I'm pretty realistic that people start following me because of my family name. And people probably find it funny to see my dad being a goof,' she stated.
'But once they follow me, they stick around, and I think some of that is because of the issues that I post about, like women's health.

While chatting with The Information, she explained that she hoped being so open on social media would end any 'misconceptions' people may have had about her and her family
'I like to bring audiences along to the events I go to, my life at college, what's front of mind for me, that kind of stuff.'
She added that she hoped being so open on social media would end any 'misconceptions' people may have had about her and her family.
'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 continued.
As for what her parents think about her online presence, Phoebe said that Melinda was 'supportive and curious,' while her dad was less interested.
'[My mom] gets that social is a space that young people need to own and shape. My dad publishes a lot on social, but he doesn't follow it much himself,' she revealed.
But Phoebe insisted that she had no plans to make content creation her full-time career and that it was simply for 'fun.' Instead, she is still focused on becoming a designer.
The 21-year-old also revealed to The Information that she is planning to launch her own startup this year, called Phia, alongside her roommate, Sophia Kianni, who has her own legion of 101,000 followers.
'We're building out an idea to help make fashion more sustainable. We have so much planned for this year and social media is going to be a big part of that,' Phoebe dished up the upcoming project.
