Some people will do extreme things to have a plaque with their name on something for when they die. He could have been actually doing something where he could see the results while still alive to ensure it's use.
Now some charity(which is run by people who "need" money also to run said charities) will hopefully make a difference with that $11m after they get their cut. But at least somewhere out there will be a plaque...
The CEO of Unicef, Red Cross, Goodwill, etc are millionaires so I'm sure an extra $11m coming in here and there always helps especially when their Rolls is in for repairs.
