Gates, who was born October 28th, enjoyed local seafood, sushi and pizza with his guests. He also enjoyed lots of champagne.
The Microsoft founder was visiting Bodrum, near Sea Me Beach, last week.
It is Gates’ first birthday celebration after announcing his divorce from Melinda Gates, his wife of 27 years. He shares three children with her.
Gates, 65 and his ex-wife, 56 shocked the world when they used Twitter to announce their separation back in May 4.
They tweeted that they no longer believed they could grow together as a couple, but they will continue to work together at Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
After only four months of filing, the couple was officially divorcing in August.
Gates was accused of harassing and ‘womanizing’ his colleagues at Microsoft in the wake of the announcement of divorce.

Bezos was reported by Gokova to have returned by helicopter from the party to his yacht ‘Flying Fox,’ which was docked in Gokova.
Their relationship broke down after Melinda saw a letter written by a Microsoft employee in 2019 detailing her husband’s inappropriate relationship with a female staff member.
Gates was resigned from Microsoft’s board of director after it conducted an investigation into his previous romantic relationship with an employee.
Melinda would post heartfelt messages on social networks to honor Gates’ birthday prior to the divorce.
She shared a photo of them at the Goalkeepers event in 2018.
She captioned it as: “It’s not secret that he is a little geeky. He is also very funny, which surprised me when I first met him.
