Who knew Bill Gates was such a nifty Reddit user?
The billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder took to Reddit recently to partake in the online community’s Secret Santa Exchange. Gates was matched up with Reddit user NY1227, otherwise known as Rachel, who he then proceeded to give a memorable gift.
Gates shipped the unsuspecting Reddit user a seven-pound box filled with a travel book, a stuffed cow, a card indicating a donation to Heifer International in Rachel’s name, a signed holiday card, and a picture of himself holding the card and the cow in front of a Christmas tree.
Rachel said she didn’t realize who the gift was from initially, assuming the man named “Bill” who signed her card was just some unfortunate lad who got stuck trying to figure out what gift to send her from her wish list that included makeup, nail polish and an iPad.
“To me, From Bill. I opened this and it’s a man holding a sign. Oh … wait,” Rachel wrote on Reddit. “And then it finally hit me. All the presents I just tore open, the charity, then everything — was from Bill GATES.”
