What do you get for a man who has everything? A whole street of Palm Beach County’s horse country, of course.
This deal brings Gates’ holdings on the tiny street up to roughly 8.6 acres. But according to sources cited by GossipExtra, the billionaire isn’t stopping there. He’s either in negotiations or in contract to buy four more parcels on the street, which would make him Mallet Hill Court’s sole property owner, for a total of nearly 20 acres. here
Gates already owns the neighboring 4.5-acre ranch at 3155 Mallet Hill Court, the gossip column reported, which boasts its own 12,864-square-foot mansion. He bought that home for $8.7 million three years ago via a trust managed by attorney William McCaughan, who works for law firm K&L Gates — which was merged from a law firm Bill Gates’ father co-founded. here

As first reported by Gossip Extra, the Microsoft founder and second-richest man in the world has apparently spent $8.7 million on an estate in the equestrian-happy enclave of Wellington, Florida, where his daughter Jennifer has spent several seasons training as a show jumper.
So on what does the man who has everything spend $8.7 million? According to a real estate listing at Redfin, the 2010 Spanish-style home comes with 7,234 square feet of living space including four bedrooms, five baths, custom English cabinetry, 10 foot mahogany front doors, and a poolside built-in grill. here
"I have no comment about this purchase," McCaughan said when asked if Bill Gates was indeed the buyer. One neighbor who asked to remain anonymous, however, tells Gossip Extra residents are fully aware that Gates is the buyer after the homeowners association was approached to replace the enclave's unmanned gate to a gate guarded by a worker 24/7.here
The Gates aren’t really new to Wellington, though. It’s been reported that they rented this same home in the past to attend the Winter Equestrian festival in years past.
