Bill Gates lives in an earth-sheltered mansion overlooking Lake Washington in Medina, Washington. The 66,000 square foot home is absolutely massive, boasting 6 kitchens, 7 bedrooms, and a 1,900 square foot guest house. Since Gates pays about $1 million in property taxes every year for the home, that is barely a dent when you are a billionaire.
Technology in Gates’ Home
Inside the home, there is a huge aquarium with views of remarkable and rare marine animals like dolphins and sharks. After diving in the pool you’ll have a great experience with an underwater sound system. Gates’ home is called Xanadu 2.0, named after the estate in Citizen Kane. It stretches over 66,000 square feet on a massive plot of land.
Bill Gates’ Lifestyle and Travels
When Bill Gates travels, he is always guarded by at least 2 big guys. The life of the wealthiest comes with some “pain" compared to an average man. Gates reads things like Fundamentals of Deep Learning and Quantum Mechanics and Algorithms between meetings. He takes a week every year just to think.
When building his home, Bill always ensures it does not destroy the environment. He designed an artificial stream that handles sewage and turns into a beautiful river surrounding the property.
