Why does Jack let Walt go

In Breaking Bad S5 E14, Jack not only lets Walt go, but also leaves a barrel of money to him after killing Hank. I don't understand why he would do this. Jack says that, with 7 barrels of money, he doesn't need to cook meth any more, so there is no reason to keep Walt (the witness of the killing) alive, let alone to give him so much money. What's the rationale behind this? Or it's just mercy or respect?
