If your dad is Bill Gates, you’re probably not getting a Starbucks gift card for graduating college.

In 2018, Jennifer Gates walked off the Stanford stage and onto a 124-acre, $15.82 million horse farm in North Salem, New York. According to Architectural Digest, the lavish estate was a graduation gift from her billionaire parents—and came complete with rolling pastures, three parcels of land, and proximity to New York City for her future studies.

But in case that sounds too much like the plot of “Succession: Equestrian Edition,” Melinda Gates would like to remind everyone: their kids were absolutely raised “middle class.”

      Yeah, again I’m not saying you don’t have struggles. I get it. But to phrase it in a way that suggests you have it worse than poorer people is insane. These people don’t have half the shit you do.

      Also you said that sometimes poor people have it better than middle class. And that’s just not true.
