What good is money if it just sits there doing nothing? Tesla was paid, and he sought better deals with Westinghouse. If anything you should have beef with Westinghouse who took advantage of him.

Nobody with any actual money stashes it away like Scrooge McDuck.
The entire idea that people who have wealth just put it under a mattress or in a vault is asinine.
People with money want to make more of it.
They invest it, start companies with it, offer it as capital for others to start their own businesses, grow their own companies which hire ~gasp~ people who get a paycheck, who spend it and the cycle goes on.
As far as Edison goes, he was a $#%#$%# monster.
Do you know that he used to kill people's dogs who didn't do business deals with him?
With his cane, no less.
When they came to answer the door.
There's your hero.
