Although they raise their children in different ways, this is one point that tech billionaires all agree on.

The parenting styles of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and other tech billionaires vary, but a common thread is limiting children's excessive exposure to electronic devices.

Tech billionaires possess many qualities that any parent would wish their children had: hard work, ambition, excellent communication skills, and the ability to turn ideas into reality. However, not all billionaires raise their children the same way.

Mark Zuckerberg

In July, when asked what children should be learning right now, Zuckerberg told Bloomberg that "The most important thing is to learn critical thinking and acquire valuable lessons while you're young. That's also my recruitment philosophy."

According to Meta's CEO, "If people demonstrate that they can delve deeply into and truly excel at a particular subject, perhaps they have grasped the art of learning."

In a 2019 interview with CBS This Morning , the billionaire revealed that he and his wife don't give their children everything. According to Zuckerberg's wife, their children also have to do chores and sometimes get to visit their parents' workplaces to better understand their jobs.

"Generally, I don't want my children glued to the TV or computer," Zuckerberg said on Fox News in 2019. At the time, he allowed his children to video call relatives but was stricter about other types of devices.

According to the Microsoft CEO, his parents created an environment in which he set his own pace and pursued what he wanted. This profoundly influenced how he raised his own children.

"It's important to focus on what your child needs to develop," he told Good Housekeeping .

Furthermore, both he and his wife, Anu, believe that children should have dogs. It provides a sense of closeness and responsibility for children, as well as a sense of belonging. "Someone is waiting for me to come home."

The couple knows what their children are doing on the computer. They also limit the number of movies, video games, and websites their children can view.

Like many other parents, the Google CEO also helps his children with their homework. He uses the company's own product – Google Lens – to assist them. "Sometimes I'm quite lazy and pretend I'm thinking, but I'm actually using Google Lens to find the answer to the problem."

In 2018, he told The New York Times that his son – then 11 years old – did not have a phone and also limited his TV viewing.

Bill Gates

The Microsoft co-founder said he teaches his children using a method from the 1970s called Love and Logic . This philosophy focuses on controlling emotions by minimizing reactions such as yelling and scolding children.

He also tried to prevent his children from becoming spoiled. He once said he wanted a balance, giving them the freedom to do whatever they wanted but not enough money for them to just sit around doing nothing.

Gates forbids his children from using phones during meals and won't buy them cell phones until they're 14.

Jeff Bezos

The former Amazon boss has a rather unique way of raising his children. In 2017, he revealed that he let his children use sharp knives from the age of 4 and electrical appliances from the age of 7 or 8.

Bezos shared that this method was inherited from his then-wife, MacKenzie Scott. She believed that "it's better to have nine fingers than to be useless." He considered this a "wonderful attitude towards life."
