Bill Gates Meets Jeffrey Epstein for First Time at His Manhattan Townhouse
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
According to reporting by The New York Times in October 2019, Bill Gates met Jeffrey Epstein for the first time at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse on East 71st Street in January 2011 — two years after Epstein's 2008 Florida conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Gates attended alongside senior Gates Foundation executives including Boris Nikolic (science advisor) and the Foundation's chief financial officer. The meeting was arranged to explore whether Epstein could help Gates and the Foundation solicit large philanthropic contributions from ultra-wealthy donors for global health initiatives.

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.
