All of it? But why would anyone convert all their wealth into cash?

What? Even if he dumped all his shares on the market, he'd net a lot more than $100 million. Sure dumping the stock would push down the share price and he wouldn't net less than $100 billion, but why would he do that? Even if he did, he'd easily net tens of billions as there is ample support from $2300 to whatever level the price eventually drops to.

How would you setup a malaria fund of 10 billion, otherwise ?

You give it 10 billion worth of ‘stuff’ (or promise to do so over a number of years)

A charity fund of that size will invest its money, anyways, until it has found a way to spend it (well) on its cause, so you can just as well give it bonds, buildings, or shares.
