’ review of Securities and Exchange Commission filings, French Gates has unloaded roughly $1.44 billion worth of stock since December 2021. At the end of last year, she sold 3.67 million shares of car retailer AutoNation for an estimated $429 million, leaving her with a 4% stake in the company. Around the same time, she also sold around $468 million worth of Canadian National Railway stock and $3.6 million worth of Coca-Cola FEMSA shares.

As of early September 2021, not long after French Gates received the share transfers from Bill Gates, she was worth $6.3 billion. A representative from Pivotal Ventures, French Gates’ investment and incubation company, did not immediately respond to a request for comment fromWall Street Journalearlier this year that she is no longer committing the majority of her wealth to the Gates Foundation, the eponymous philanthropy she and Bill founded in 2000, where she remains a co-chair. It’s possible some of the money is going into Pivotal, which describes itself as doing “high-impact investments, partnerships and advocacy.
