Gates Travels to Norway with Epstein and Meets Scientists in Oslo
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
In August 2012, Bill Gates traveled to Oslo, Norway, with Jeffrey Epstein — along with Gates Foundation science advisor Boris Nikolic — where they met with Norwegian scientists and businesspeople. Emails reviewed by The New York Times showed that Epstein organized the itinerary. The visit included meetings at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters; Epstein framed the trip as positioning Gates for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination by cultivating the Norwegian scientific community.

Gates keeps a collection of rare and classic cars

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.
