Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates is famous for his massive mansion in Medina, WA but could he be spending this winter in Florida? South Florida�s real estate gossip extraordinaire Jose Lambiet says that Gates is paying $600,000 for a winter rental in Wellington, Florida. Why Wellington? Gates� daughter Jennifer is a horse jumper who will participate in the Winter Equestrian Festival in nearby West Palm Beach. The rental reportedly runs from December to May and includes an option to buy. The home is listed for $12.999 million.
Bill and Melinda Gates have three children and the home offers plenty of room for both people and horses. The expansive property includes a barn, stables and horse training area and is within walking distance of the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg owns a home nearby which is primarily used by his daughter Georgina, who also jumps horses. The property also has a pool.
The home measures 7,352 square feet and one of the most intriguing features is a large wine room, set off from the dining room by floor-to-ceiling glass.
