Bill Gates turns 70 and reflects on legacy, memoir, and a focus on the brain
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Bill Gates turned 70 on October 28, 2025, a milestone he marked with public reflection on his life, his legacy, and the next phase of his philanthropy. Saying that reaching 70 — as Microsoft turned 50 — finally prompted him to 'look back a bit,' Gates had published 'Source Code,' the first installment of a planned two-part memoir, earlier in the year. He also signaled a growing personal interest in neuroscience and brain health, shaped in part by his father's experience with Alzheimer's disease. The birthday coincided with Gates's accelerated push to give away nearly all of his fortune before the Gates Foundation's planned closure in 2045.

Phoebe Gates's AI shopping startup Phia takes off — built with 'no ties to my last name'
Phoebe Gates, the youngest child of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, has drawn attention for Phia, the AI-powered shopping app she co-founded with Sophia Kianni. Launched in April 2025, Phia scans the web and secondhand marketplaces to find deals on fashion; by early 2026 it had surpassed a million users, grown revenue elevenfold, and raised more than $40 million — including a $35 million round — at a valuation around $185 million, backed by Kleiner Perkins, Kris Jenner, and Hailey Bieber. Notably, Phoebe took no money from her parents, saying she wanted to 'build something generational that has no ties to me, my privilege, or my last name.'
