Billionaire Bill Gates now owns all of Mallet Hill Court, an equestrian enclave in Palm Beach County’s Wellington.
Gates bought the last remaining plot on what is now his street for $2.5 million, bringing his total to $38.4 million for the six properties. The Microsoft founder began buying in the gated community in 2013, when he paid $8.7 million for the 4.5-acre equestrian estate at 3155 Mallet Hill Court. His interest in the area was reportedly sparked by his daughter, Jennifer Gates, who is a noted equestrian.
