I don't know if Gilliam is 'loaded' (look at Lost in La Mancha to see how reliant he is on other people's money), but he's certainly wealthy without having the sort of money Tarantino will have in his bank accounts.
Using kickstarter makes sense because those who are emotionally invested in the films can put whatever they can afford into the fund so, when they are restored, they can feel that they helped make it possible.
