Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 21, 2026 —
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and its co-founder, Bill Gates, held approximately 30 meetings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 2011 and 2014, according to an external review commissioned by the foundation.
These meetings, which took place over a three-year period, included discussions about a potential public health fund and a grant to an organization affiliated with an Epstein associate. The review noted that some Gates Foundation staff members had voiced concerns regarding the potential reputational risks associated with these interactions.
Despite the noted concerns and the nature of Epstein’s conviction, the external review found no evidence of illegal activity or any payments made to Epstein by the Gates Foundation.
The full scope and details of the discussions during these meetings have not been publicly disclosed beyond the information provided in the review’s findings.
