“It’s fun to see her energy,” said Gates of his 21-year-old daughter who recently graduated from Stanford University.

He revealed that while shooting the episode, Phoebe brought some bubble tea for him to try. “It has a strange texture that drinks are not supposed to have,” he said. “So she may keep trying on that because she’s a big fan. I don’t know.”

“What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates” is a five-episode series built around Gates’ desire to learn and understand the world, something that has defined his life and achievements. “Whether at school, Microsoft, or now, as a philanthropist, I consider myself a student,” said Gates to TUDUM.
