First met Jeffrey Epstein at Manhattan townhouse after his aggressive lobbying campaign
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Gates first met convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein at a party at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in January 2011 — more than two years after Epstein's release from a Florida jail following his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Epstein had pursued the Gates meeting through an aggressive campaign involving mutual contacts. Gates subsequently met Epstein at least five more times through 2013-2014, including at a conference in Long Beach, a gathering at Epstein's townhouse with Larry Summers, a trip to Palm Beach on Epstein's private jet, and a dinner in New York.

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.
