Melinda French Gates, a philanthropist from the United States and a former computer scientist and general manager at Microsoft, was born Melinda Ann French on August 15, 1964.
French Gates has frequently been listed by Forbes as one of the most powerful women in the world.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest private charity organization in the world as of 2015, was co-founded by Melinda and her then-husband Bill Gates in 2000.
The French Legion of Honor and the US Presidential Medal of Freedom have both been given to Melinda and her ex-husband.
Bill and Melinda Gates announced they were divorcing in early May 2021, but they would continue to serve as co-chairs of the foundation.
Melinda is one of the four children born to Elaine Agnes Amerland, a housewife, and aerospace engineer Raymond Joseph French Jr.
Melinda has two younger brothers and an older sister. French, a Catholic, was the highest student in her class at St. Monica Catholic School.
French’s father and Mrs. Bauer, a teacher at the all-girls school, who pushed for teaching computer science to the students, introduced her to the Apple II when she was 14 years old.
