Bill Gates Jeffrey Epstein meetings

Bill Gates met with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions between 2011 and 2014, after Epstein's 2008 Florida conviction for soliciting a minor. New York Times reporting in October 2019 confirmed at least three meetings at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, including a 2011 meeting attended by Larry Summers and a Boston University professor.

Gates told the Wall Street Journal in 2021 that meeting Epstein was 'a huge mistake' and said the meetings concerned philanthropy fundraising. His former wife Melinda French Gates cited the Epstein meetings as a factor in their 2021 divorce.

Conspiracy adherents frame the meetings as evidence Gates was part of Epstein's blackmail or trafficking network, often cited alongside the Epstein client list theory. No criminal charges have been filed against Gates in connection with Epstein.
