After Phoebe Gates turned 18 in September 2020, her big sister took to Instagram to help her celebrate. Posting a handful of pictures of them together over the years, Jennifer welcomed her to adulthood.
Dad Bill has posted a picture or two with Phoebe on his own Instagram page, including one where he shared one activity they like to do together. "My daughter Phoebe and I love reading all kinds of books and are big fans of [John Green]," he wrote. "We both couldn't put down his new novel, 'Turtles All the Way Down,' which tells the story of a young woman who tracks down a missing billionaire." As the daughter of a billionaire, it seems Phoebe had a personal connection to the story, and her dad shared how the book "hit closer to home" for her than others from the novelist.
In addition to reading, she also reportedly loves dancing. Insider says she attended Seattle's Lakeside High School, while Gossip Cop says she also spent time at the Professional Children's School in New York City, The School of American Ballet at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and The Juilliard School. But while Phoebe may have become something of an Instagram influencer with her thousands of followers, her life isn't all about technology. In a 2017 Mirror interview, dad Bill talked about limiting his kids' screen time — and he's been open about limiting their inheritance, too. Instead, he's setting his kids up to follow their own dreams, and it seems like Phoebe is chasing hers.
