I would honestly just disappear.

If I had enough money that I can just go "fuck you", that's what I'd do. I'd obviously help my family financially, but probably not as a lump sum except to help them buy property to make houses on. But beyond that, I would basically be away and uncontactable. No one would know where I am and what I'm up to except maybe a couple times a year.

The bigger question is actually what type of charity I'd end up doing. I have some distrust for charities, so I'd want to take a more direct approach, so in all likelihood, I'd be helping a number of small creators I believed in to see if they could get a chance at establishing themselves better.
