What he does with his money is none of my concern. Unlike the vast majority of other CEOs in his market cap tier, he's actually paid fairly, compared to an average worker at Valve

He's

Billionaire

No, he's not paid fairly, no one should have that kind of wealth.

He makes more from the interest on his fortune than the average salary at Valve even if the average is very high.

There's no reason to defend billionaires, no matter how good they pretend to be.

I think gaben has retained his popularity because you just never hear about him. He doesn't go around publicly doing evil shit so he's got the benefit of the doubt. Not that I disagree with your general point about billionaires...

I highly doubt that most people, given the opportunity, would not live like a billionaire. If someone builds a company like Valve, they're going to live very well. That doesn't say as much about the person as it does about the economic system.
