Coincidentally, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both taught their daughters to ride horses.

(Dan Tri) - The daughters of billionaires Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both enjoy horse riding and have chosen famous horse racing athletes as their life partners.

The daughters of two billionaires Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have many coincidences.

Eve Jobs (27 years old) - the youngest daughter of American billionaire Steve Jobs (1955-2011) - is about to marry British equestrian Harry Charles. Harry Charles (26 years old) is a famous equestrian athlete in the sports world. He won the team gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Eve Jobs also has a passion for horse riding. She learned to ride horses from a young age and once trained to become a professional equestrian.

Eve has a bachelor's degree in science , technology and society from Stanford University (USA). In 2016, Eve's mother - Mrs. Laurene Powell Jobs - bought her a $15 million ranch in Wellington, Florida, USA, so she could comfortably practice horse riding there.

Meanwhile, the eldest daughter of American billionaire Bill Gates - Ms. Jennifer Gates (29 years old) - was also a professional equestrian athlete.

Jennifer holds a master's degree in public health from Columbia University, a bachelor's degree in human biology from Stanford University, and a master's degree in public health from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Despite her stressful school days, Jennifer never gave up her passion for horse riding. She has been riding since she was a child.

Her husband, Egyptian-American professional equestrian Nayel Nassar, was twice called up to the Egyptian national team to compete at the 2012 London Olympic Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

To give Jennifer the opportunity to pursue her passion for horse riding, in 2018, billionaire Bill Gates bought her a $16 million estate in the suburbs of New York. The large estate has a stable where Jennifer can indulge her passion for horse riding, and she can comfortably practice at home whenever she feels inspired.

For both Jennifer Gates and Eve Jobs, although they no longer actively train with the goal of becoming professional athletes, horse riding is still a passion and a pleasure in their lives.

It was also from their childhood hobby that they met their life partner who shared the same hobby of horse riding. It can be seen that there are many interesting things in common between the two daughters of billionaires.

Why do the rich often let their children pursue horse riding?

To pursue this sport for a long time, not everyone can do it. There are many things to consider when pursuing horse riding because the cost is not small.

Horse riding has long been a hobby of European aristocrats. In modern life, more and more riding schools have opened, making it easier and less expensive to pursue this hobby. Students now do not need to own their own horse, which saves a lot of money.

However, for the rich, when pursuing equestrian activities at a professional level, they often have their own racehorses. The price to buy quality racehorses is very high. Additional costs for horse care, purchasing equipment, tools, costumes... are also very expensive.

Like in the story of billionaire families Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, they all had to spend a large amount of money to buy estates for their children to raise and train horses.

In general, to be able to pursue horse riding persistently requires the practitioner to have a solid economic foundation. That is why people often say that horse riding is a sport for the rich. Horse riding is the sport that has the most "land" for the rich to show off their economic potential.
