New York Times journalist Anupreeta Das is about to release in the United States “Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World,” an investigative book on the life of Bill Gates, one of the most powerful, fascinating, and contradictory figures of the past forty years. Known as a high-tech visionary, philanthropist, and benefactor, questions linger about his darker side.
Who is the real Bill Gates? Is he a philanthropic savior or a ruthless capitalist? The book explores the various aspects of his life, including his philanthropy through the Bill & Melinda Foundation, which masks potential dark undercurrents.
The book reveals controversial details about Gates’ relationship with women, particularly young interns. Reports suggest that Gates exhibited inappropriate behavior towards women, treating them like “children in a candy store.” His connection to convicted pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 led to the breakdown of his marriage.
The book also sheds light on Gates’ meetings with Epstein in 2011, where discussions centered around philanthropic initiatives. Despite Epstein’s known history of child prostitution and sexual abuse, Gates continued their association.
Furthermore, the article suggests that Gates often received unwanted attention from women during his marriage, with some employees even criticizing his behavior towards interns at the Gates Foundation. While he was not comparable to Harvey Weinstein, his controversial relationships with women ultimately contributed to the end of his marriage.
