Melinda French Gates says billionaires aren’t ‘a monolith,’ and not all of them need to be on stage touting their accomplishments

Quick Summary:

Melinda French Gates cautioned the public against seeing billionaires as monoliths, saying instead she tried to raise her children with a sense of normality.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) stood beside Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, who himself was shoulder-to-shoulder with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

This began in elementary school, with her three children using her maiden name 'French' as their surname.
