Well the endless upsides of that fortune are obvious, but so is the not to overlook downsides. You loose all your friends. With that ridiculous amount of money, there really is almost no reason not to give. But that will be a poison, and except in the best cases, a deadly one, I say.
So I go with @Hygro, and use my money to enable myself to have a healthy friend circle by establishing my own tribe, my own commune.
Some business would have to be attached. And my wisdom, understanding of the human condition and life, as well as my agnostic spirituality has much further matured, so much so, that it brings me to on old childish fantasy of mine: A kind of atheistic religion. Without the believe in things entirely imaginary. But with the believe and surrender to a spiritual-philosophical-psychological-cult resting on the rich body of insights and ideas of people like Freud, Carl Jung, Jordan Person, Nietzsche, and many more, but also modern science in general if it enables to better understand the human condition and human needs - establishing traditions, stories and rites designed to nurture a culture which best brings human potential as well as human yearning for meaning to fruition.
And yes this would involve psychedelic experiences. But done the right way. Like the ancient cultures, where it is integrated into the culture in a way that proper use, place, setting, time and support is guaranteed. (something extremely lacking with the hippies in the 60s - just dumb kids)
So yeah I would find a cult. But a good one. Hehehehe
Regarding the business: Tourists. Thinking of Ayahuasca tourism. And we could sell books. Give seminars on personal development and spiritual healing. But without esoteric pseudo-science BS (and not motivation BS either of course!) - it is in the end just psychology, really, but wrapped and presented in a form that it can actually be seen and felt and lived, that it can be understood on a imaginary, vivid and alive level, so that it may penetrate your shields of self-protection, rationality and relativism and hit you where it counts.
Can also see us growing our own food, producing little hand-made trinkets for tourists to buy etc.
Alternatively I would establish a Techno Club in Berlin.
And naturally some people will get some of my millions. Family is a no-brainier.
What I would not spend a dime on are lavish mansions, pointlessly expensive watches or other status symbols. That just seems dumb to me.
