Microsoft founder Bill Gates, is the world's richest people and also the most generous philanthropist on the Earth, but as a father, he is a bit stringy! Bill Gates did not allow his three children with wife Melinda Gates, Jennifer Katharine (daughter, 1996, pictured above, via), Rory John (son, 1999) and Phoebe Adele (daughter, 2002) to use Apple products at their home. Apparently, it’s not because Bill Gates couldn’t afford iPhone, or iPod to his children, but it’s because those digital entertainment products were made by Microsoft’s arch-rival Apple Inc.
Microsoft founder head Bill Gates has banned the use of products made by arch-rival Apple from his house, his wife has revealed.
She told Vogue magazine that the couple's three children Jennifer, 13, Rory, 10 and Phoebe, seven, are not allowed Apple products.
'There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household,' she said.
'But iPods and iPhones are two things we don't get for our kids.'
