I suspect that the likes of Steve Wozniak and Dean Kamen probably already do some kind of financing albeit not too openly.
Identifying a Newton or Mozart is a bigger problem that financing them, I think.
It would be interesting to see what people like Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman and have been offered by the rich to continue their work. They are worth billions but I suspect they only see a fraction of that sum.
