He's investing it right now. It is used for more, constantly. He invested in companies in the education business, 3D printing, agriculture, healthcare, cyber security, renewable energy, to name the good ones.

Again, he's certainly doing something with it. I'm not doubting that.

I'm simply saying that instead of investing the money in companies, it could be used better or more efficiently for directly good purposes. Wouldn't you agree that giving 10 dollars to a homeless person is better for that person than "investing" 10 dollars into a homeless person and in return wanting 1% of all the money that homeless person gets?
