They both have ties to Stanford University and, in the centibillionaire’s own words, “Phoebe and I both left college early, but she came away from Stanford with a degree.” They are both voracious readers, and now they have some “business” to discuss as well. No, the Reproductive Health Advocate hasn’t joined Microsoft, but as expected, she has paved her own path that has led her to business. Phoebe Gates is the co-founder of Phia, a forthcoming digital fashion platform.

Bill and Melinda Gates’ activist daughter, Phoebe, is stepping into the spotlight as a businesswoman with Phia, her soon-to-launch fashion platform focused on eco-conscious practices

That focus will not change in the future.
