Who is Mila Antonova, Russian bridge player who had alleged affair with Bill Gates?

Bill Gates’ alleged Russian lover, Mila Antonova, would have been in her 20s, while he was in his 50s, when the pair supposedly engaged in a relationship.

Never met them, but I was in a tournament once with Warren Buffet, the supposed 5(?) richest man in the world. He is an avid bridge player. I also played against Omar Sharif(?). He was the son I believe of the Aga Kahn. Sharif was a tremendous player and played on teams contesting for the World Championship several times.

Bridge was the favorite avocation for a lot of well known people. Eisenhower loved to play bridge. I knew Gates was an avid player but was never where he played which I think was mostly on the west coast. Down thru the years I did play against many famous players and bridge professionals who had won world championships. Charles Goren, Josephine Culbertson, Johnmy Crawford, Eddie Wold, Dan Morse, Bobby Wolfe, Oswald Jacoby. The Aces team, and a lot of others . These people were as well known to a huge segment of people in the world as a lot of politicians, movie stars, great athletes, etc.

Nope. The Johnny Crawford to whom I was referring was a famous bridge bridge player and multiple world and national champion. I have a story about playing against him I may relate one day. In a hurry to go eat now ,
