Beijing, March 6 (Xinhua)-- Phoebe Gates, the youngest daughter of billionaire Bill Gates, is now a celebrity on TikTok. She said in an interview that she became famous on TikTok not only because of her background, but also because of the content she posted.

Phoebe says the worst thing about being famous on TikTok is people's misconceptions about her family, and that posting on TikTok is rife with "misunderstandings and conspiracy theories."

Phoebe, 20, has accumulated more than 64000 followers on TikTok. Through her TikTok account, viewers can get a glimpse into her life with her father, Gates, and mother, Melinda French Gates (Melinda French Gates). In 2021, the Gates announced their divorce after 27 years of marriage.

"I'm very self-aware, and people are starting to pay attention to me because of my last name. It might be interesting for people to see my father playing Boxbollen batting like a fool," Phoebe said in an interview. "but once they follow me, they won't leave. I think part of the reason is the topics I posted, such as women's health. To be honest, TikTok is interesting."

Gates plays Boxball Phoebe recently shared video clips of "talking to Mom about contraception" on TikTok, as well as funny videos of her father dancing when he was young. She also released a video of Gates playing Boxball batting. The video has been viewed 8.3 million times since December last year.

Phoebe is the youngest of Gates' three children. She studied at Stanford University and worked as an intern at the British fashion magazine Vogue. She also talks about the need for sustainable fashion on her social media. She plans to start a startup called Phia later this year with Stanford roommate and climate activist Sophia Chiani. "We are building an idea to help fashion become more sustainable... social media will be an important part of it." Phoebe said in an interview.

She said her mother was "very supportive and curious" about her use of social media, and she said she "understood" that this was a place where young people grew up. "my father posted a lot of news on social networking sites, but he didn't pay much attention to it himself." Phoebe added.

Phoebe also told the media that every time she posted a picture of her boyfriend, another black Stanford student, she was criticized by some users. "it's 2023. I'm tired of being made into an emoji bag because of interracial love." She said.
