Billionaire Bill Gates' only son unexpectedly appeared at the event

Recently, Ms. Melinda Gates was invited to attend a reception for Kenyan President William Samoei Ruto. The event was held at the White House.

Melinda chose to accompany her son Rory (25 years old). Rory's appearance attracted a lot of attention because the only son of billionaire Bill Gates rarely appeared in the media. Rory has a particularly private lifestyle.

Rory is not publicly active on social media and has never attended any events with either of her parents. Before her recent appearance at the reception, the last public image of Rory was at her university graduation.

Rory graduated from the University of Chicago in June 2022. At that time, Rory's older sister and younger sister were there to congratulate him, and the three of them took a commemorative photo.

Therefore, Rory's attendance at the recent event with his mother was considered a strange move by the young man.

The reception was held on Thursday (May 23). This was also Rory's 25th birthday. Also present at the reception were famous American artists, such as actor LeVar Burton, musician Don McLean, singer-songwriter Brad Paisley...

Melinda also recently revealed that she is single again, after breaking up with her boyfriend Jon Du Pre. Melinda's appearance at the White House reception was the first time she attended an event since the surprise announcement was made two weeks ago.

Accordingly, Ms. Melinda suddenly announced her withdrawal from the activities of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Her withdrawal requires the foundation to allocate 12.5 billion USD, so that she can carry out her own charitable activities from now on. She and her ex-husband will no longer accompany each other in charitable activities.
