New House New Car,

Heck then Get a advisor. Probably put most of it in a conservative investment that also provides income to charities. I would not be qualified to handle so much money. I would probably try a hedge fund like uppie uppies try.

OF Course though the first thing to do is Pay 750 million in Taxes
well maybe not quite that much but close.

I probably want to start my own charity so I would take ten years to learn how to do it. Maybe even try to start my own Invesment company I am sure I could beat SP 500 Index

I would certainly upgrade my lifestlye (a larger house etc), then put enough money away to ensure that money would never be an issue for my family and my closest relatives.

Then I would spend the rest of my life enjoying my family, golfing and gifting money to well run established foundations that share my values like the Gates Foundation.
