Who is Paula Hurd, Bill Gates's girlfriend? Net worth, career, and the life she built
Paula Hurd and Bill Gates have attended various elite gatherings, including Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's engagement party in August 2023 The woman everyone's curious about ever since she stepped into the spotlight as Bill Gates's girlfriend. But here's the thing: she's way more than just a billionaire's plus one. From climbing the corporate ladder to championing philanthropy and quietly shaping the tennis world, Paula has lived a life packed with purpose, love, and resilience. Born on April 27, 1962, Paula Kalupa (that's her maiden name) grew up far from the tech headlines and paparazzi cameras. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin back in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Her professional journey kicked off at NCR Corporation, a big player in tech and finance. She spent nearly two decades there, working her way up in sales and alliance management. It was a grind—but it paid off. Paula wasn't just a corporate employee, she became a key player, leading big deals and strategic partnerships. But career success is only one chapter of her story. In 1990, she married Mark Hurd, the man who would go on to lead both Hewlett-Packard and Oracle as CEO. The two were a power couple in every sense. Together, they raised two daughters, Kathryn and Kelly— Kathryn's an investigative journalist and Kelly once worked with Visa. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Run Your Business Like a Pro - Top Trending Accounting Software (Check Now) Accounting ERP Click Here Undo In 2019, Mark passed away after a battle with cancer, as per reorts. Paula was left a widow—but instead of retreating from public life, she leaned into the things that mattered most to them both: family, philanthropy, and purpose. She continued her work through Hurd Family Investments (also known as MPH Investments), helping manage portfolios and creating large-scale charitable events. But what really lights her up is tennis. Paula currently chairs the Universal Tennis Foundation, where she works to support student-athletes and wheelchair tennis players. Her love for the sport runs deep—so deep, in fact, that it played a surprising role in the next chapter of her life. Enter Bill Gates. The two were first spotted together at tennis tournaments like the BNP Paribas Open and Indian Wells in 2021. Rumors started to swirl, but it wasn't until early 2023 that the relationship was officially confirmed. And then, in February 2025, Gates said it out loud during an interview on The Today Show: 'I'm lucky to have a serious girlfriend named Paula. We're having fun, going to the Olympics…' The world took notice. But here's what most people miss—Paula didn't suddenly become influential because she started dating one of the richest men on the planet. She was already making big moves. She and her late husband donated $7 million to Baylor University (their alma mater), funding everything from basketball pavilions to the flashy new welcome center that opened in 2023. She's been a quiet but impactful force in the education and nonprofit world. Paula Hurd net worth As per reports, her net worth is estimated to be between $4 million and $35 million, with many sources pegging it closer to $35 million. Some estimates go up to $50 million, though the $35M figure is most consistently cited. A good chunk of this wealth comes from her tech sales career and smart investments. The rest? Likely inherited from Mark Hurd, whose own net worth at the time of his death was estimated between $150 and $500 million. Now, Paula lives a relatively low-key life considering who she's dating. She's not chasing clout, not flooding your social feeds, and she's certainly not hopping on talk shows. Instead, she's seen courtside at tennis matches, showing up at philanthropic events, and occasionally walking into high-society functions next to Bill Gates—often in understated, elegant style.

Torrent Pharma revives talks to buy KKR stake in JB Chem
NEW DELHI: Ahmedabad-based Torrent Pharma has revived talks with PE major KKR to buy its stake in Mumbai-based JB Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals in a deal which could cost around Rs 20,000 crore. KKR's nearly 48% stake in JB Chem is valued approximately Rs 13,400 crore at its stock's closing price of Rs 1,803 per share on BSE on Friday. The transaction, which will trigger an open offer by Torrent for up to 26% of the company's stake held by public shareholders, is expected to be finalised soon, sources said. Discussions between KKR and other bidders, including Torrent and Micro Labs, ended last year due to valuation concerns. Efforts to reach Torrent Pharma and JB Chem were futile, and KKR officials were not available for comments. The US private equity major has been seeking to exit its investment in JB Chem for some time, and sources indicated this time the deal with Torrent Pharma is likely to proceed. Typically, private equity firms aim to exit investments within three-to-four years. In March, KKR divested about 7% stake through block deals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Step-by-Step Warehouse Cleaning Guide SearchMore Learn More Undo In July 2020, the PE major had acquired 54% in JB Chem from the promoters, the Mody family, for approximately Rs 3,100 crore or Rs 745 per share.

Centre under PM Modi spent Rs 2L cr in 11 yrs on TG farm sector: BJP
Hyderabad: BJP State Spokesperson Rani Rudrama stated that the NDA government at the Centre, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has invested approximately Rs 2 lakh crore into the agriculture sector in Telangana. Addressing the media on Friday, she said that neither the current Congress government in Telangana nor the previous BRS government can develop agriculture with the same clarity and direction demonstrated by the Modi-led government at the national level. From 2014 to 2025, the NDA government has allocated lakhs of crores of rupees to the agriculture sector in Telangana. Notably, Rs 57,556 crore was spent on cotton purchases alone. In 2014, the expenditure on cotton was Rs 3,404 crore, while for the 2023-24 season, Rs 20,998 crore has been budgeted for a single season. During this period, the Centre has invested Rs 57,556 crore in cotton purchases, while the Cotton Corporation of India has bought cotton worth Rs 58,000 crore from farmers in Telangana to date. Rudrama pointed out that when the Congress government came to power, it promised a bonus of Rs 500 per quintal for 14 crops. However, the bonus was only announced for three crops and distributed to only half of the farmers, leaving the rest without any compensation. Even after declaring that the bonus would be provided to only half of the farmers, the process remains incomplete, which she described as a fraud committed by the Congress party.
