Would be interesting to see the numbers for Gabe Newell, he always seems to somehow get away with being a billionaire without getting hated the way most publicly famous billionaires are.

Gabe's crimes :

Billionaire
Charges 30% for steam sales
Cosmetics sold in valve games are the same level of gambling as pokemon cards, due to existence of secondary market.

Zuck's Crimes :

Violating privacy of every person for all time
Makes shitty deals with phone manufacturers to shoehorn his shit in there
Forces people to use whatsapp through network effects.
biased every election forever, caused resurgence of fascism and brexit.
Instagram resposible for influencers and self esteem issues in kids.

This might be why.

Don't forget Zuck's genocide in Myanmar. Everyone else did... https://systemicjustice.org/article/facebook-and-genocide-how-facebook-contributed-to-genocide-in-myanmar-and-why-it-will-not-be-held-accountable/

Gabe also funds some kind of marine research, while Zuck funds his purchases of islands from Hawaii.
