Bill Gates kept $60 billion in stock and wrote a $30 billion check in public. Lives in a $150 million mansion.

Steve Jobs kept $7 billion in stock, wrote no public check anyone is aware of. Lived in an upscale but normal house and left the back door unlocked.

I guess the hero is the guy who wants his picture taken handing out turkeys on thanksgiving? I mean clearly Steve Jobs could have demanded $50 more billion from Apple and then given half of that away to be a great philanthopist but because he didn't he's a bad guy? I call shenanigans.



Don't keep us hanging, inform us about the state of the Gates back door! By golly, if it's kept locked, I'm going to hate those guys!
