Bill Pulte Jr. is from Oakland County, Michigan, but grew up in Florida. His parents are Mark and Noreen Pulte and he is the eldest of six siblings.
He is the grandson of billionaire William J. Pulte, the founder of the construction company PulteGroup. PulteGroup eventually grew into the third-largest residential construction company in the United States.
William passed away in 2018 and as a result, Bill received some inheritance. The money was a big help with kickstarting future business ventures to fund his philanthropy work. Even so, young Bill was geared toward making a name for himself.
After graduating from Northwestern University in 2010, Bill started to work on himself and first worked in an aerial photography service that offered helicopter flights. In 2011, he founded his own private equity company called Pulte Capital shortly after working at Penske Capital Partners, per a report by News.com.au.
Bill is a family man and doesn’t shy from sharing his babies on his Twitter page which has over 3 million followers.
So, who is Bill Pulte’s wife? Bill is a married man. Per TechieGamers, his partner is a woman named Diana Pulte. Bill and Diana got married on May 27, 2017, and his late grandson graced his wedding.
Pulte’s wife also has considerable experience in executive jobs. Diana is a management consultant for Pulte Health. Bill and Diana currently reside in Oakland County, Michigan.
On Valentine’s Day in 2022, he shared a picture from their wedding and wrote “Happy Valentine’s Day to an incredible wife, the mother of our two beautiful daughters. Maybe more kids on the way to join our Big Pulte Family! The Matriarch of the Bill Pulte Foundation! Love you to the moon and back!“
How many children does Bill Pulte have?

Founder of PulteGroup, William John married two women in his adulthood. He married Karen Koppal in 1993 after divorcing his first wife. In his relationships/marriages, he had 14 children before he died. Pulte died at his home in Naples, Florida, on March 7, 2018, at the age of 85.
In 2018 when William died, he was survived by his loving wife Karen, his children Bryan, Mary Jo (Pam Dolan), Nancy (Kevin) Rickard, Tom (Molly), Katie (Tim) Moskalik, Bob (Mary Clare), Mark (Julie), Suzie Pulte Smith, Carolyn, Patrick McDonald, Michael (Anne) McDonald, Sharon McDonald, Mary Jane (Dave) Barrett; his 27 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, per his obituary found on Prnewswire.com.
He started his Twitter philanthropic work because of his grandfather.
Per Jacksonville, Bill’s act of kindness is something he learned from his granddad. He noted that William was not from a rich family, hence, he struggled before succeeding and chose to help people with his blessings.
He told Detroit Free Press in 2019 he was inspired to launch Twitter Philanthropy during a summer holiday with his family.
“There is such hate and vitriol on social media these days, and I wondered how come we’re not using all of this technology for good,” he said.
“Because of the success I’ve had in business, coupled with my younger age, I felt that it was appropriate for me to try to champion social media for good.
“My experience has been that people are willing to give a hand and help their fellow Americans as long as they know that (the money) is going to be put to good use. And technology allows us to do that instantaneously.”
He promised to give away $1,000,000 of his own cash by the end of 2019 if he reaches one million Twitter followers and he did and now he has over 3 million followers with millions of admirers worldwide.
