disclaimer: he was an investor in my startup
He spends a lot of his money on giving back: 42, a free programming bootcamp (https://www.42.fr/), Station F, a huge co-working space in Paris which hosts entrepreneurs for free (https://stationf.co/)
He also has a very active VC/Business Angel fund (he funds 2 early stage startups every week out of his own pocket).
His telecom company (free) helped divide by 2 the average price of mobile plans in France.
