Apparently you don't realize (or care) that almost all of that wealth is just paper wealth, tied up in the stocks of a very small number of companies, and not actually available for him to spend or give away.

Meanwhile, there are other multi-multibillionaires who spend their time and money having the biggest yachts mankind has ever seen built for them, along with establishing palaces all over the world, with some even buying themselves private islands to house their compounds.

There's a very good chance that he has far less cash money available, and far fewer toys to his name, than 95% of the 100 wealthiest people in the world.
