Bill Gates some 30 years older than Russian bridge player at time of alleged affair: report

Bill Gates was about 30 years older than Mila Antonova in 2010 when he reportedly had an alleged affair with the up-and-coming Russian bridge player and entrepreneur.

Gates, whose date of birth is Oct. 28, 1955, would have been 53 at the time and still married to Melinda Gates. Antonova was reportedly in her early 20s. Bill and Melinda announced in May 2021 that they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage.

Antonova mentioned the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft during a talk about the benefits of bridge, which was posted on YouTube by Ignite NYC in July 2010. It is unclear if the event was in July 2010 or if that was when the video was uploaded.

“Two years ago, I said, ‘Everyone, I’m going to meet this guy,'” Antonova said while pointing to a picture of her with Gates. “No one believed me. Last year, I played against him at the same table at the National Bridge Tournament in Washington, D.C. I didn’t beat him, but I tried to kick him with my leg.”

Sources said the cost of the classes were irrelevant to both men but that the tone of the email showed Epstein was aware of the alleged affair and could expose Gates.
