Her parents’ marriage ended in a divorce battle worth billions – but for Jennifer Gates (25), love is looking rosy!
Saturday the eldest daughter of “Microsoft” founder Bill Gates (65, 108 billion euros) marries the show jumper and multimillionaire Nayel Nassar (30).
And when you say yes, she has an entire party village installed on her 14 million euro ranch (a gift from her parents when she graduated from university)!

While dozens of workers erect white tents and giant glass pavilions on the 50-acre property in North Salem (north of New York), the bride met Mama Melinda (57) in the Big Apple.

TO THE STRATEGY MEETING?
After all, it will be the first big family celebration for the Gates clan after rumors of affairs and the end of the marriage!
While Jennifer and Mama Melinda put their heads together days before the wedding, the billionaire entrepreneur traveled to the location on Thursday (local time). He too arrived in the helicopter in a good mood in a dark polo shirt.

Also in the neighborhood (including US talker David Letterman) the wedding has been causing explosions for days. An insider told the “DailyMail”: “This extravagance is completely exaggerated, the many trucks disturb the neighbors.”
Even the surrounding streets should be closed – privacy is priceless, even for a billionaire’s daughter.

This is the bride and groom
Their hearts have been galloping together since 2017! Jennifer Gates met her future Nayel Nassar at Stanford University – SHE studied human biology, ER economics. Your great common passion? The equestrian sport!
Nassar is an Egyptian multimillionaire, was born in Chicago and grew up in Kuwait. In January 2020, he proposed to Jennifer – after previously asking her dad Bill Gates’ permission.
While Jennifer is currently studying medicine in New York, Nayel is firmly in the saddle as a professional show jumper. And on Saturday they sail together into the port of marriage.
