25. '''Vinod Khosla''' - $500,000 <br>
Half a million bucks. Who would [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Khosla_Gift donate $500,000] to the WMF? Vinod Khosla is described in the July/August 2008 issue of ''Fast Company'' as follows:
:*"...had no people sense..." "He would go through the factory floor and terrorize people and shut down the line. There was Vinod's way and no other way. It drove his cofounders crazy." (according to a former Sun Microsystems director)
:*The article continues, stating that when Khosla was promoted to Chairman, he boycotted four consecutive board meetings, "sitting resentfully alone in his office". Then he was fired.
:*Another fellow director described Khosla as "massively intrusive".
:*Still another advised, "If Vinod's on the board, the CEO needs a senior vice president in charge of managing him."
