−		+	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."

 Holy moley -- four grand!  We think that Burgess is a former video game producer, but for four grand, he must be wanting to advertise something besides his past career in video games, right?

		+	23. '''Lawrence Lessig''' - $1,000 <br>
		+	Best known as a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright, trademark, and radio frequency spectrum, particularly in technology applications. He is Jimmy Wales' newest buddy as Wikipedia seeks to corrupt the GFDL license into something the Creative Commons license can tolerate. Lessig is the founder of Creative Commons. Lessig must think Jimbo is one big headache:
