Bill Gates, the renowned Microsoft billionaire, made headlines as he attended the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, along with his girlfriend Paula Hurd. The extravagant three-day celebration, hosted at the Ambani estate in Jamnagar, commenced with a themed cocktail party that saw the gathering of high-profile guests from around the world.

Paula Hurd, the widow of former Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, has been romantically linked with Bill Gates for over two years. Their relationship sparked speculation last year when they were first spotted together at the Australian Open. Both avid tennis enthusiasts, they were also photographed together at the WTA semifinal match of the Indian Wells tennis tournament in March 2022.
