Gates Attends First Documented Dinner at Epstein's Manhattan Townhouse
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Bill Gates attended a private dinner at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse on East 71st Street. The New York Times described the event as including Nobel laureates and other guests, with Gates staying late into the evening. This was the first of at least six documented in-person meetings between Gates and Epstein between 2011 and 2014. Gates later said he hoped Epstein could facilitate large-scale philanthropic introductions to wealthy donors.

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.
