Li Ka-shin is another good answer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Ka-shing who gained a bunch of money like Bill Gates and started his own foundation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Ka_Shing_Foundation which works towards education reform, the foundation constantly builds and donates to universities to help them further the reach of impoverished students. Additionally, they support a lot of medical services and research to help impoverished areas of HK.
Paul Allen funded a bunch of scientific and medical research, as well as quite a few museums and other public works around Seattle. He was the largest private donor to the fight against Ebola in Africa.
The billionaires who do good don’t want their names attached to their deeds because that defeats the purpose. The point of altruism is you don’t want credit.
(Seriously there aren’t many, though, because if you’re hoarding money, you’re a horrible person.)
