But now people can see the gentler side of Bill Gates during his philanthropic innings. I really respect him because many of his peers such as Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison etc. are obsessed with their companies or themselves while Bill Gates is giving back. The other person I admire as much or more is Warren Buffet. You can not have a bigger tribute to Gates than Warren Buffet entrusting so much of his money to Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
