It's sad that I don't even know which exec you're referring to, yet it's applicable for all three.

At least, of those, Gates is doing good with all the wealth he accumulated.

Each of the companies also pays the livelihoods for tens of thousands of people, perhaps hundreds of thousands. Thats one measure of good I suppose. Opinions on net good will differ.

Gates is doing a good job at PR if nothing else. In a cynical view (that is not mine) you could see it as him stealing $100, giving away $50, and being hailed a hero.

He could also just not give away the $50
