Jennifer Gates - the daughter of once the richest man in the world, Bill Gates, got married last Saturday, i.e. 16th October 2021. The 25-year-old tied the knot with Nayel Nassar in a luxurious star-studded wedding.

While the entire world knows Jennifer Gates as the daughter of Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, and his ex-wife Melinda, little do people know about Nayel Nassar.

Who is Nayel Nassar?
