Rory John Gates

Business tycoon and famous inventor Bill Gate's only son Rory john Gates, who was born in 1999, has maintained a low profile like his sisters, as daddy Gates and mommy Melinda want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible. Rory was born in Seattle, Washington. This is something which is seen as an aberration because most rich kids like to show off their wealth. That’s not true for Rory though.

Now moving on to his physical configuration, he is a blonde teen whose height is unknown. But from his most recent pictures (the pictures clicked in 2012 during an equestrian festival that Rory's sister Jennifer participated), we can assume that his current height lies in the range of 4 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 4 inches.

Anyway, since the parents height (Bill Gates 5 feet and 9.5 inches and Melinda Gates- 5 feet and 6 inches) can be taken as a good predictor of an offspring height because height is a polygenetic quantitative trait. However, if other external factors including nutrition and environment are taken in account, we cannot deny that he can reach up to 6 feet. Anyway, in the picture, one can see, he looks petite.

Talking about his relationship status, we are unfamiliar about his relationship status. As of 2015, he is just 18. So, it will be cool to assume that he is probably single. Beauties, you can wait till he grow up, can't you? He will be there in about 3-4 years. He will have girls drooling over him, in no time.

So, how much is he exactly worth? This is something which has always been on the minds of the people who have been following Bill Gates. There has been a lot of talk with regards to Rory’s wealth and influence over the company, his father formed.

Numerous sites have mentioned that he is worth around 20 million US dollars. However, we cannot verify this figure, as Bill, who is worth around 79.2 billion USD, has already decided to give around 10 million US dollars each to his three children (daughters Jennifer Katharine (b. 1996) and Phoebe Adele (b. 2002), and son Rory John (b. 1999)). Maybe, Bill has increased the 10 million US dollar figure. He is Bill Gates alright. He can do practically do anything. If he decides to give off half his net worth to his kids, he can easily do so! That’s the reason why, the future net worth of Rory can’t be predicted. Nonetheless, because of his father, Rory is a millionaire when he is a teen. Imagine, how awesome that would be?

The worth of the house they live in is $123 million. Whow, you read right? That’s more than the life savings of about 100 people, for an average American. The house has a few cool features including an sound system which is underground, covering the swimming pool. It has computer screens in the walls, which change pictures, as per the needs of the house owners or guests. Moreover, there are more than 5 kitches in house, many garages as well as home theatters.

The good thing is Bill Gates has already decided that he will use most of his money in charity works. Not only that, Bill is also a tough parent. He has placed a rule in his house that one should wait till 13 to get a cell phone, something which is noteworthy, being the son of the world’s richest guy. Melinda and Bill Gates have been known throughout the world as one of the most generous businessman, donating more than 95% of their net worth to charity.

Owing to Bill and Milinda gates, a lot of programs are underway in Africa and South Asia. With their donations, a lot of NGO’s can contribute to the betterment of the society at large. In India, they are doing a great job. Keeping in focus the two states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, two of the poorest states in India, the Bill and Melinda Foundation has undertaken many activities, which support the upliftment of poor, giving opportunities for entrepreneurship, women’s support and health facilities. In India, they have been focusing on improving the sanitation facilities. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is tying up with the Government of India, to make the country open deficit free.

In Africa, the foundation has been very successful in providing faciltities which pertain to the African continent’s needs, especially with regards to vaccination. In Sub-Saharan Africa, which is relatively an underdeveloped part of Africa, the foundation is making great strides in helping to improve the lives of millions of children.

Although always busy, Bill takes out time to spend with Rory. Bill is working on a mission to make his children independent and respectable citizens. He doesn't want to spoil them and from what we have heard, Jennifer is already an independent teen earning for herself. Rory is still quite young and in a few years, it is expected that even he will be able to fend for himself.

Unfortunately, we don't have more info in Rory including his education. Therefore, we will surely provide you guys with a link to Rory's Diamante poem that proud father Bill Gates posted on his blog in 2014. The link is given as: http://www.gatesnotes.com/About-Bill-Gates/Light-Verse-from-Rory

In the seven liner diamond shape poem, Rory mentions light, stars, blackhole and other stuff. Wow, he is interested in science after all. Welcome, Einstein. He can, with the support of his fiercely independent parents, have a lot of scope to go ahead and chase his drema.s

Well, it will not be cool to mention here how Bill, the most famous dropout, and Melinda, an computer science and economics graduate from Duke university and MBA graduate from Duke's Fuqua School of Business, came close to one another, as this post is solely dedicated to Rory, who derives English, German and Irish heritages (ethnicity) from his parents Bill and Melinda.
