Oprah and other rich people, whenever they give a dollar anywhere, they make sure its known.

I don't think he donates to get recognition. He's a stand up guy

+1 for Gates and his fat wife.

I still think its comical how he and Jobs were close friends and then he took a bunch of Jobs ideas(mouse, trash bin, etc) and he registered and copywrited everything just after Jobs did.
