Bill Gates

Bill Gates and Paul Allen were named two of the Tech’s Top 10 Biggest Philanthropists by PeekYou, but surprisingly, tech’s most notable charitable giver isn’t number one.

PeekYou developed the PeekScore, which ranks a user’s internet presence on a scale of 1 to 10. Gates (ranked second on the list) has a score of 10, while Paul Allen (sixth) has a score of 7.2 out of 10.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg followed up on an initiative by Gates and Warren Buffett, pledging at least half of his $6.9 billion fortune to charity. It’s worth noting that both Zuckerberg and Gates had the same PeekScore of 10, but Zuckerberg’s announcement probably pushed him to the top spot.
