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 chose famous horse racing athletes as their life partners.

The daughters of billionaires Bill Gates and Steve Jobs share many similarities.

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 renowned equestrian in the sports world. He won a gold medal in the team event at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Eve Jobs also had a passion for horseback riding; she learned to ride from a young age and even 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, Jennifer Gates (29 years old), was also a professional equestrian.

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 the stressful times with her studies, Jennifer never gave up her passion for horseback riding. She had pursued horseback riding since childhood.

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 horseback riding, in 2018, billionaire Bill Gates bought his daughter a $16 million estate located in the suburbs of New York. The expansive estate, complete with stables, allows Jennifer to indulge her love of horseback riding, and she can freely 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 wealthy families often encourage their children to pursue horseback 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 pastime of European nobility. In modern life, more riding schools have opened, making this hobby easier and less expensive to pursue. Learners no longer need to own their own horses, 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.

As in the stories of billionaire families like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, they all had to spend large sums of money to buy estates for their children to raise horses and train them.

In general, pursuing horseback riding consistently requires a solid financial foundation. That's why horseback riding is often said to be the sport of the wealthy. It's the sport that offers the most opportunities for the rich to showcase their economic power.
