Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates reportedly disclosed details of several alleged extramarital relationships during testimony before a House Oversight Committee investigation examining matters connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
The publication, citing a transcript of Gates’s testimony on June 10, reported that the billionaire identified three women with whom he allegedly had affairs. The reported testimony has drawn significant attention due to its connection to ongoing scrutiny surrounding Gates’s past interactions with Epstein and the broader investigation into the late financier’s network and associations.
Among the individuals reportedly mentioned was Mila Antonova, a Russian-born bridge player. Antonova was born in Tolyatti, Russia, and studied management at the Tolyatti Management Institute between 2000 and 2005. After relocating to the United States, she became involved in competitive bridge and pursued efforts to create an online platform for teaching the card game.
According to previous reports, Antonova and Gates met at a bridge tournament around 2010. At the time, Antonova was reportedly in her twenties, while Gates was in his mid-fifties. Media reports have also noted that Jeffrey Epstein later became acquainted with Antonova through an associate of Gates in 2013. Epstein reportedly assisted her by paying tuition for a coding program and offering support as she sought funding for her bridge-related business venture.
The second woman reportedly identified during the testimony was Karima Nigmatulina, a Russian physicist and nuclear scientist. Nigmatulina earned a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and has worked on research projects involving nuclear science, disease modeling, and public health issues.
According to The Telegraph’s account of the testimony, Gates stated that his relationship with Nigmatulina developed in the context of scientific collaboration and professional interactions. Some of her research initiatives reportedly received support connected to philanthropic programs associated with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Reports have also suggested that Epstein became aware of the alleged relationship and later attempted to use knowledge of it to exert influence over Gates.
The third individual reportedly mentioned was Dr. Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt, a physician and entrepreneur in the medical technology sector. Dr. Jacobs earned her medical degree from Harvard Medical School after previously studying art history at Stanford University. She has been involved in healthcare innovation and molecular diagnostics throughout her professional career.
According to the report, Gates stated that his relationship with Dr. Jacobs began before he met Jeffrey Epstein in 2011. Media accounts have alleged that Epstein was aware of the relationship and referenced her in correspondence sent several years later.
The reported testimony forms part of broader public interest in Gates’s past connections with Epstein, which have been the subject of extensive media coverage in recent years. While details from the testimony have generated significant attention, neither Gates nor representatives for the individuals named have publicly commented in detail on the specific allegations cited in the report.
As investigations and media scrutiny continue, the claims reported from the testimony remain a topic of discussion among observers following developments related to Epstein’s former associates and contacts.
