I'm going to hazard a guess he makes close to 0.3% in interest per week, meaning he could employ those people on his own passive income without even noticing.

He didn't, you earn interest in cash, not stocks.

Metaphorical interest. The percent capital gains on his stocks is well over that. It still functions as passive income. I am surprised that had to be explicitly extrapolated.
