I would buy a small island in the carribean. One with atleast a small freshwater pond or something. Then I would build a cabin on it. And buy a boat that could get me from the island to the mainland (wherever that would be) which I wouldn't use very often, just incase though. I would buy whatever other things I would need (no electricity) for my island to be pretty much self-sustainable. Then I would save half of the remaining money (possibly in the form of silver) and give the other half to Buddhist monasteries in southeast asia.
EDIT: This would not be a private "party island" with lots of cool shit that would get me tons of pussy. I would have it so I'm living in the most simple way I possibly could. And I would be the only one to step foot on it.

I'd buy a mountain in a desolate wilderness area. I would hire miners to excavate a lavish hall inside with tunnels running in and out. Then, I would fill the hall with the remaining money in varied gold and gem treasures. Then I would sleep on it day and night.

Yeah, a dragon would be for sure the best. I suppose I could dig a trench around the mountain and fill it with alligators and between the trench and the (closed and locked) gates of the mountain I could let loose lions and hyenas and hire jewish accountants to periodically inventory my stash.

I'd create a space program to compete with NASA(or just fund/donate to nasa) and extensively fund them based on progressive space exploration efforts/research/etc...
I'd buy exuberant amounts of land to preserve wildlife and nature, in general.
I'd raise the reimbursement of recycled cans and so on by a nickel to encourage people to recylce. (Then I'd stop after maybe half a year) (that's a lot of money but I feel it would get people in the groove of recycling then I'd pull away)
I would fund research in solar energy and electric cars, perhaps even subsidize electric car companies so that the cars would be cheaper to the general public for a certain amount of time.
I'd create schools based on learning rather than competition, but still reserve parts of the school for competitive minds(but no cheating)(basically against the cut throat attitude) (No grades, just pass or failing... and they're not allowed to look at their scores) They must work together/develop comradery
Build Chuck Norris a home on my property and hang out with him every day.
With all this money, I would somehow form an alias and live in a regular home within a regular community and if I got to the point where I had a family then spend as much time as possible with them.
Oh and advocate drug EDUCATION instead of prevention.

I would love if something like that happened. For the sake of ridiculousness. It'd be amazing to see who survives.

I wouldn't do much actually. Build a nice place in the woods. Buy up tons of land around it,and make some private little fun roads.
Fund building hotrods. Drive them.
Build stuff to skate.
live life.
the rest would just be helping others,or whatever, I wouldn't even need a million to to life my dream,so whatever.
