Growing up in one of the world’s wealthiest families definitely has its perks, and Jennifer Gates acknowledges the privilege, crediting her successful vocation to her parents – Bill Gates and Melinda Gates. From being an accomplished equestrian to pursuing her love for medicine, Jenn has been making waves in every field she has set foot in. While her interest in horse riding was piqued when she was just a 6-year-old kid, her passion for medical science was first sparked by her parents’ impromptu dinner table conversation.

Interestingly, she also revealed that her decision to pursue medicine was inspired by her parents’ passion for “making the world a better place”.
