I guess it depends on how quickly I can change my phone number to something unlisted.

Semi-seriously, my tastes are relatively frugal in the grand scheme of things. There's a point after which money has no further use for me. I can't imagine what I'd do with much more than 250K/year. So, I'd set up a pair of trusts, one that is risk-adverse from which I draw my minimal expenses. Another trust which is more aggressive from which I draw my fun money.

A back-of-envelope wild guess suggests 50 mil is enough to cover my most extravagant needs forever. I'd take 100 mil of what's left and spread it around my family (all three branches) and friends.

My "worthwhile" time would be spent doing some philanthropist thing or another. Thinking back to the time I'd been ripped off by a defense contractor, I'd be tempted to set up (and run) some charitable organization that does troubleshooting for the lack of a better term. Something to help whatever "little guy" abused by the system (corporate or government), having fallen through the social safety net, and have no recourse for relief. Perhaps a lawfirm with decent lawyers who would be willing to settle for a comfortable salary so they can concentrate on referred pro-bono work.

One way or another, BAUT would have guaranteed hosting for as long as Phil and Fraser want to run the place. And JREF would be rubbing Sylvia and Uri's noses in a 10M prize rather than just a 1M prize.
