MANILA, Philippines–After spending almost two weeks in an exclusive resort in Palawan, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates is set to return to the United States Thursday afternoon.

Immigration sources said on Wednesday that William Henry Gates and his wife, Melinda, are scheduled to fly back home around 2 p.m. on Thursday aboard their private jet.

The billionaire couple’s children had gone home on Tuesday as discreetly as they arrived on a commercial flight back to the United States.
