EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Sir Paul McCartney’s grandson, 24, is enjoying a romance with the 21-year-old daughter of billionaire Bill Gates

Money can’t buy you love, but it does help you mix in some fascinating social circles.

I hear that Bill Gates’s daughter is enjoying a passionate romance with Sir Paul McCartney’s grandson.

Phoebe Gates, 21, whose Microsoft founder father has a fortune of £88billion, is going out with Arthur Donald, 24, the elder son of photographer Mary McCartney and her first husband, TV producer Alistair Donald. By comparison, Macca is worth a measly £950million.

Phoebe has shared this photograph online of her with Arthur, a New York-based climate investor, taken on a balcony in Paris.

The two families already enjoy close ties with one another as Arthur’s aunt, the fashion designer Stella McCartney is good friends with Phoebe’s mother, Melissa Gates.

Before Phoebe’s romance with Arthur, she was going out with her fellow Stanford University student Robert Ross

Before Phoebe’s romance with Arthur, she was going out with her fellow Stanford University student Robert Ross. She condemned racist comments she received about their interracial relationship.
