Bill and Melinda Gates’ show jumper daughter lives it up

Bill and Melinda Gates are notoriously private about their personal life, but that hasn’t stop their 21-year-old daughter from sharing sneak peaks into her lavish life on social media. 

Jennifer Gates, the accomplished equestrian, has shared snaps from all over the world over what has been a very special year for the young lady.

She turned 21 in April, finished out 2017 with her boyfriend of one year in Kuwait, and traveled the world for equestrian competitions, and that’s just the beginning.

Jennifer, who is ranked 19th in show jumping by The United States Equestrian Federation, is shown here aboard a boat in crystal clear, blue waters.

Her carefree smile is contagious, as she ever so subtly runs her hand through her scarlet hair.

In a black crop top and white shorts, she’s prepared for warm weather in the sunshine.

Travel is nothing new to the glamour life of the Gates’ oldest daughter.

She’s competed all over as a renowned equestrian.

Her trips for sport have included the Gucci Paris Masters at Parc des Expositions on December 5, 2014 in Villepinte, Franc.

The Stanford University student also makes time to travel with her boyfriend of just over one year,  Nayel Nassar.

Nayel is also a celebrated show jumper.

‘Nobody rly knows whether our official ~dating anniversary~ is today or yesterday but that’s ok… happy to be yours every day,’ Jennifer wrote in an Instagram post featuring her beau on Monday.

She sweetly kissed him on the check in the photo, as the two stood in front of a stunning background of white sand, blue water and puffy, white clouds.

In another photo, the couple were posted up in a pool, also snuggling and showing affection.

Jennifer wore a black bikini as she laid one on Nayel from behind, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

Her boyfriend adopted the same stance as he did  on the beach, with eyes squinted and smile wide.

Not one to rest for too long, Jennifer was also seen over the past year in Monaco.

She was there attending the Global Champions Tour of Monaco 2017 on June 23 in Monte-Carlo.

In a uniform of white pants and a long-sleeved red polo shirt, she had her hair pulled back and tied to the side, ready to take care of business.

So does her younger sister, Phoebe Adele Gates, who is 15 years old.

The family often travels together, but Jennifer is the one who shares their luxe experiences with the world.

‘A magical three days in Kuwait with my favorite person,’ Jennifer wrote on Instagram on December 19.

‘Happy holidays everyone!’

The two posed together in Kuwait City, embracing in a field, with the city landscape off in the distance.

She spent three months in Australia over the Summer of 2016, and while there, someone snapped a picture of her climbing up a ladder on a boat

While Jennifer always looks lovely in posed photos, her candid smile is equally charming.

‘Facebook tells me this was a year ago,’ Jennifer wrote with the photo on September 24. 

‘Blows my mind because I don’t want to be so far away from those transformative 3 months. Miss it more than ever and so grateful for the memories and friends made in Australia.’

Her pink, plum and white bikini complement the island flowers, perfectly.

Sometimes, the star show jumper doesn’t have to go too far to do what she loves.

Like in September 2014, when she performed at the Longines Los Angeles Masters Charity Pro-AM at Los Angeles Convention Center.

Dressed in all black riding great, Jennifer looked fierce as her and her horse bounded over jump after jump.

The 15-year-old wore pink pajamas and lounged back in a photo shared from the state of Washington.

It was around the Christmas time, judging by Jennifer’s caption of ‘Merry Christmas,’ and the decorated tree, also featured in the snap.

The show jumper is always sure to give credit where credit is due, applauding her horse, Lutzy, for a fine finish in Southern California on October 19.

‘Lutzy finished 4th in the Futurity class today,’ Jennifer wrote with a post featuring the beautiful animal, sporting a white ribbon for the prize.

That contest took place at the Del Mar Horsepark Equestrian Barns.

Lucky for us, Jennifer isn’t as camera shy in her everyday life and her more private parents, because the glamorous life of the Gates family looks good on her.
