Under fire Phoebe Gates once belonged to a secretive, invitation-only Stanford class called “So You Think You Can Rule the World?” where students are “taught how to identify vulnerabilities in systems of power,” The Post can reveal. Years before her shopping startup, Phia, was hit by allegations it exploited illegal loopholes, billionaire Bill Gates’ daughter, now 23, was among a hand-picked group of Stanford students in a secret society who study how power works — and, according to one former student, how to “hack” it. The unofficial 10-week course, nicknamed “Rule,” isn’t publicized, has no enrollment code and accepts just 12 students — six men and six women — at a time.
