Do you mean Richard Branson rather than the actor known as Charles Bronson?
That said, lots of people are benefactors of health and medicine. Maybe they don’t get the same notoriety, but maybe they weren’t looking for it either.

Both the wealthy and society as a whole spend way more on medical science than space. It's fairly common in the US for every wing of a hospital or every building in a medical school to be named after some rich businessman who is doing just that.

Bill and Melinda Gates being notable exceptions of course.
*Edit: Richard Branson of Virgin Group, not Charles Bronson.
