I think with Bill Gate's case, most people aren't aware of the fact he's given out so much. I am. I also know that people still rail against him because it's not MICROSOFT that's giving the money.
His image suffered tangentally from a problem during the dot com boom, media started doing stories on how charitable all these new millionaires were. Turned out, not very. So the techno crawd got slammed as greedy bastards.
Karma took care of them.
