Bill Gates’ daughter Phoebe faces racist abuse over black ‘boyfriend’

Billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gatesteenage daughter Phoebe is being trolled with vile racial abuse after sharing a sweet Instagram photo of herself being kissed on the cheek by her rumored black boyfriend.

The 19-year-old Stanford University student posted the candid image to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, and within minutes social media was flooded with gruesome comments about the alleged relationship.

In the photo, Phoebe – the youngest child of Bill, 66, and his ex-wife Melinda, 57 – is seen leaning towards the unnamed man, while he is depicted kissing her affectionately on the cheek.

The unidentified beau appears to have binoculars in his hands as he plants a kiss on Phoebe’s cheek – while something resembling a tent can be seen in the background.

Phoebe’s dark brown locks hang loose about her shoulders and she appears to be wrapped in a brown blanket as she shared a tender moment with her so-called boyfriend – who wears a T-shirt from rapper Drake’s fashion line, October’s Very Own (OVO). .

Despite the photo’s innocent nature, Twitter was quick to react to the idea that Phoebe might be dating a black man, with many opting to make crude jokes suggesting that her rumored beau is simply using her for her father’s money.

One wrote: ‘Her net worth was estimated at $130 billion. I don’t think he is her equal or that they do 50/50. Just my guess.’

Another chimed in: “Phoebe Gates has a black boyfriend, young brother won’t back down…BE GREAT.”

“If Phoebe Gates’ boyfriend is added to the joint account number,” one person added, sharing a video of a black man doing a celebratory dance.

Another tweeted a video of a black man brandishing a gun as he hurls his car down a road, writing, “Phoebe Gates and her boyfriend stop at Bill Gates’ house for Thanksgiving.”

After the image was reposted to Instagram, dozens of other people chimed in with racist commentary, with one person writing, “This was the dream MLK talked about.”

“Bill is about to break a vase against the wall,” someone else commented.

‘Bro becomes a millionaire in a matter of seconds,’ wrote another person, as one Instagram user added: ‘Now we know why Bill Gates has told his kids they won’t inherit anything,’ referencing Bill’s earlier revelation that he will not bequeath most of his wealth to his children.

The billionaire — who is one of the richest men in the world with an estimated net worth of $123.7 billion — announced at a TED conference in Canada in 2014 that he would instead spend most of his fortune founding his family will leave.

That hasn’t stopped social media users from making sordid suggestions about Phoebe’s rumors of a new romance — with several urging the unnamed lover to “get her pregnant,” while others joked that he “secured the bag.”

“He gets his reparations LMAO,” wrote another.

The controversy comes just weeks after Phoebe spoke out to condemn the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in a series of Instagram posts, which she began sharing just days before the bill’s overthrow was announced.

At the time, Phoebe shared a series of photos of herself in a white bikini, proudly declaring, “I’m not ashamed of my body and/or telling you to be banned.”

“Everyone deserves access to sexual and reproductive health care,” she continued. ‘At this point, the Supreme Court is prepared to end the constitutional right to abortion. Join me and the fashion community to send a clear message.”

Phoebe tagged Planned Parenthood and added the hashtag #BansOffOurBodies.

In the photo, she is wearing a thong halter bikini as she leans against a wall with her hands behind her back. Her dark hair hangs loosely over her shoulders and she looks at the camera with a piercing gaze.

The words “my body, my choice” were written in white and pink at the bottom left of the photo.

Thousands of people liked the post, including her 26-year-old sister, Jennifer Gates. The sisters also have a 23-year-old brother, Rory.

“Yessss P,” Jennifer wrote in the comments.

Olympic freestyle skier and model Eileen Gu responded with two exclamation points, while climate activist and fellow Stanford University student Sophia Kianni added, “Bodyodyyyyy.”

Phoebe also shared the image on her Instagram Stories, writing: “What’s up – I’m here to say that physical autonomy is a human right. Did you know that 50% of all women are denied physical autonomy?’

The next slide, featured in her post, was an image from BansOff.org showing which 26 states will move to ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

“Now that I’ve got your attention… THIS!” she added.

The following image provided information on how people are fighting the potential ban, including donating to abortion funds and supporting a local Planned Parenthood.

Phoebe closed her Instagram Stories with a second bikini photo, writing, “Thanks for stopping by, later.”
