A representative for Bill Gates confirmed to us that the package is authentic and that Mr. Gates has participated in Reddit’s Secret Santa program for the last few years.

Each year, members of Reddit sign up to be part of the largest Secret Santa gift exchange on the planet. This year, one redditor's Santa also happened to be the world's richest person.

Bill Gates, Secret Santa superstar

Everything Bill Gates included in his Secret Santa gift.

According to a post on Reddit , a mysterious package was delivered via FedEx to Reddit user Aerrix's residence this morning while she was out. After tearing into the larger-than-expected box and clearing away some of the bubble wrap, Aerrix said she uncovered a photo and her "jaw. Just. Drops."The photo was jolly ol' Bill Gates, Microsoft founder, noted philanthropist, and awesome Secret Santa.Aerrix then called her husband at work, something she said she doesn't normally do without texting him first. Speaking quietly so as not to alarm him, she broke the news."I said 'Bill Gates is my freaking Secret Santa!'" she wrote. "It took a second for it to sink in but oh MAN I was excited and flipping out!"Gates delivered a package filled with awesome gear, including an Xbox One S Minecraft edition, three custom Xbox One controllers, an NES Classic, and matching Legend of Zelda mittens for Aerrix and her dog Claire.If you want to see the entire unboxing, Aerrix took photos of the whole process, from mysterious box, to everything inside.We've reached out to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to see if this Reddit Secret Santa is the real Bill Gates, but even if it turns out to be someone gifting in his name, there's no denying this is a really awesome score.
