Kim Kardashian has surprisingly befriended Phoebe Gates, the 22-year-old nepo baby of billionaire Bill Gates, and she doled out some stern business advice to her ahead of the launch of fashion-tech startup Phia.
Phoebe co-founded the mysterious e-commerce app – described as ‘A new way to shop online’ – with her former Stanford University roommate Sophia Kianni, who was eager to ‘get people off the waitlist.’
‘Girls, have I taught you nothing about media training?’ the 44-year-old SKIMS CEO scolded them via FaceTime in a video.
‘You can’t just give them everything right now.’
Gates responded: ‘That is a great point, Kim. You’re the expert.’
‘Starting a company is no joke,’ Kim explained.

‘So keep Phia under wraps until the perfect moment. Trust me, it’ll be worth it.’
Phoebe replied: ‘From the real mouth of a legend. Thank you, Kim, we appreciate it!’
Kardashian signed off after saying: ‘Alright, I’ll call you girls later. We have a lot of work to do.’
On Wednesday, Gates and Kianni officially launched their Gen-Z podcast called The Burnouts under Call Her Daddy podcaster Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network.
And no one was more thrilled to listen than the former British Vogue intern’s 69-year-old father, who famously co-founded the software company Microsoft back in 1975.
‘@phoebegates, You have always been brilliant, ambitious, and incredible at bringing people together,’ Bill – whose fortune exceeds $128B – gushed via Instastory.
‘So it’s no surprise that you’re finding a way to do it all – congratulations to you and @sophiakianni for entering your “podcaster era.” I can’t wait to listen to @theburnouts.’
That same day, Deadline reported that Hulu gave a pilot order to satirical comedy Group Chat, which was executive produced by The Kardashians star as well as La La Anthony and Kenya Barris.
It’s loosely based on La La’s 2014 memoir The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness.

Since October, Kim has been hard at work executive producing and starring as LA’s ‘most successful divorce lawyer’ leading ‘an all-female law firm’ in Hulu legal drama, All’s Fair.
Creator Ryan Murphy’s $69.7M-budget sexy adult procedural also features Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Brooke Shields, Matthew Noszka, and Ed O’Neill.
Kardashian always dreamed of following the footsteps of her late father Robert Kardashian, who was part of the late OJ Simpson’s ‘dream team’ of attorneys at his 1995 murder trial.
The AHS: Delicate actress – who passed the ‘baby bar’ exam back in 2021 after failing three times – originally aimed to pass the California State Bar in 2023 without attending college or law school.
Kim used to spend 18 hours a week studying law under the guidance of Van Jones, Jessica Jackson, and Erin Haney and dreamed of starting her own law firm and abolishing the death penalty.
Kardashian’s prior acting credits include PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, PAW Patrol: The Movie, Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, Drop Dead Diva, CSI: NY, Deep in the Valley, Beyond the Break, and Disaster Movie.
The criminal reform advocate also played herself in movies Ocean’s Eight and Alligator Boots as well as episodes of 2 Broke Girls, American Dad!, 30 Rock, Last Man Standing, and Brothers.
