He used to be reviled enough during the 1990s to receive literal pies in the face. [0] He has done some good of course, but some people tend to see anyone "giving away money" == faultless saint. [0] [VIDEO]
About a year after being pied in the face he launched the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Maybe we should bring back pieing, haha [VIDEO]
Gates was so hated during the early growth days of Microsoft, that he literally got pied in the face. [VIDEO]
