Bill Gates and Melinda French’s daughter Phoebe Gates ‘ graduation from college was extra special — and extra impressive!
On June 15, the youngest of the former couple’s three kids said goodbye to Stanford University as she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology.
And as if such a major isn’t already impressive enough, she completed her entire college career in just three years , for a very sweet, sentimental reason.
As Phoebe graduated, her mom Melinda wasn’t there just as a proud mom, but she was also the commencement speaker for the 2024 graduating class. Phoebe, giving Nylon a glimpse into the special day, shared of her efforts to graduate early: “I knew I had to make it happen if I could, because I wanted to watch my mother deliver this year’s commencement speech as a graduate.”
“Graduating early to watch her deliver this was a dream come true,” she added, noting: “I can’t think of a better ending!”
