No women - sigh

This chart is misleading. The way it's constructed suggests that the respondents answered in one of just two ways, they liked them or didn't. In reality, there were four possible responses: Positive, Negative, Neutral, or Don't Know Them. The Fame value only hints at this. In this chart, Gates beats Buffet by 1 point in terms of Positive impressions. However, Gates is also far more *disliked* than Buffet: 27% to 15%. They're about equal in terms of neutral opinions, and more people don't know who Buffet is.

When analysis of ratings and reviews are done, there is often an examined metric that (to oversimplify) subtracts the negative score from the positive one. The purpose of this metric is to (again, an oversimplification) get a feel for what the general sentiment is among people who have an opinion about the subject. If we look at this "net favorability score", this is what the ranking looks like:
Gates: 18
Buffet: 29
Cuban: 25
Musk: 7
Zuckerberg: -1
Trump Jr. -3
Branson: 19
Lindell: 9
E. Trump: -8
Cook: 16

If we sort by these values, this is what the chart looks like:
Buffet: 29
Cuban: 25
Branson: 19
Gates: 18
Cook: 16
Lindell: 9
Musk: 7
Zuckerberg: -1
Trump Jr.: -3
E. Trump: -8

I am really skeptical of these results. Gates is very well known compared to the rest, but if he is more popular than Buffett, I will eat a cover from the Windows 95 CD
