Gates and Epstein Meet at TED Conference and Schedule Follow-Up Meetings
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
In March 2011, Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein interacted at the TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and subsequently scheduled a series of follow-up meetings, according to NYT reporting corroborated by Gates Foundation internal emails reviewed by journalists. The TED encounter deepened the relationship and led to Epstein visiting the Gates Foundation's Seattle headquarters, where he met with programme officers. Gates's office later described these interactions as attempts to use Epstein's access to billionaires to raise philanthropic funding.

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.
