A video of Mila Antonova, a Russian bridge player with whom Bill Gates allegedly had an affair with, went viral recently. It is an old video of Antonova explianing why business tycoons and billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet donated $1M to promote Bridge in schools.
The video, dated July 20, 2010, showed a young Antonova speaking passionately to the crowd in New York City, as she delivered a presentation on why why Bridge should be a regular sport in schools. At the time she was an advocate for the sport, which according to her was not only a game for the grandparents and old generation but also can be enjoyed by youngsters alike. At the same time, she was also inviting more businessmen to join hands in helping promote Bridge in schools.

“When we think about bridge, we all start imagining the old ladies like that right? So everyone think that, it’s only my grandma play or aunt play, but look at these guys. Do they look like an old person to you?”
As the picture on the screen changed to show Gates and Buffet enjoying a game of Bridge, Antonova said, “Warren Buffet started playing bridge when he was 16 years old. And you know what, they donated a million dollars to promote Bridge at schools.” The original clip, uploaded on YouTube which also includes different statistics about how popular Bridge is, is 5 minutes 8 seconds long.
However, the only part where she talks about Gates, has been cut off from the clip is going viral on Twitter. Here are both the videos:
Notorious billionaire financier and sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein reportedly threatened to expose an affair Gates allegedly had with Antonova after the Microsoft co-founder refused to join his philanthropic venture, The Wall Street Journal reported.
In a 2017 email, the disgraced pedophile, who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019, threatened to expose Gates’ alleged affair with the Russian card-wiz.
Antonova and Gates played in a tournament together after she moved to the Bay Area to work as a software engineer. The pair allegedly had a brief romance while Gates was still married to his then-wife, Melinda Gates.
Epstein, on the other hand, met Antonova while she was looking for financial investors for a bridge academy. According to the report, he later paid for her to attend software coding school. Epstein then contacted Gates to reimburse him for the cost of investing in Antonova’s coding education in 2017.
“Mr. Gates met with Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes. Having failed repeatedly to draw Mr. Gates beyond these matters, Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr. Gates,” a spokesperson for Gates said.
Gates never had any “financial dealings” with Epstein, the spokesperson added. Antonova told the Journal that she had no idea when Epstein really was when they met. She said that she thought he was just a “successful businessman and wanted to help.” “I am disgusted with Epstein and what he did,” Antonova said. She declined to comment on her alleged relationship with Gates.
