Bill Gates made a rare red-carpet appearance with his girlfriend, philanthropist Paula Hurd, at the 12th Breakthrough Prize ceremony in Santa Monica, California, in April 2026. Gates, who confirmed on the Today show in early 2025 that he had a 'serious girlfriend,' has been seen with Hurd — the widow of former Oracle CEO Mark Hurd — at events including the 2024 Olympics and the Breakthrough Prize, and thanked her in the acknowledgments of his memoir 'Source Code.' Hurd chairs the Universal Tennis Foundation and is active in education philanthropy.

Gates keeps a collection of rare and classic cars
Despite his reputation for frugality in some areas, Bill Gates has long indulged a passion for cars, assembling a collection that has included several Porsches — among them the 911 he has owned for decades and the storied 959 — as well as other classics. His automotive tastes, and the saga of importing the then-illegal 959, are among the more colorful footnotes of his personal life.

Gates retreats for solitary, twice-yearly 'Think Weeks'
For years Bill Gates retreated twice a year to a secluded cabin for a solitary 'Think Week,' during which he read stacks of papers, books, and employee proposals with no interruptions, emerging with strategic memos that shaped Microsoft's direction. The ritual became famous as a model of deep, focused thinking by a busy executive, and was credited with helping spark major pivots — including Microsoft's embrace of the internet. Gates carried the habit of voracious, deliberate reading into his philanthropy.
