I don't know where you got the idea that he has that much cash. He doesn't. He net worth is more than that, and it's invested either through Cascade or his remaining MSFT shares.
Probably in a hollowed out monitor from 1995.
He actually gives most of it away. He's a billionaire who has actually seen and spent time in the houses he owns, and for his wealth, is sort of a cheapskate.
buried in his backyard. You miss read that he doesn't have $47B in cash, that is his net worth, which includes his stock investments, his bond investments, his 401K, his property investments, etc. etc. etc.
