I'd pay all the girls in the back door thread to sit on my face.

Finish grad school, but pay the department to ensure I never had to teach a ******* class again.

Get a (personally-endowed) professorship somewhere, doing social psych research.

Realize that I only had $2m more than Carlos Silva's current contract

No. Writing long fiction is incredibly easy when you're talented, and impossible otherwise. Dedication is not even necessary, Cervantes had better to do than writing and he wrote.

With $50m I would breathe clean air in my stunning Parisian town house, eat vegetables and red roast beef, shag my wife and other people too (I'm single), have a chauffeur and 24 servants with matching wigs to fulfil my merest needs, have also ten suits tailored (six for winter use, four for summer use) and three tuxedos, buy incunabula & publish luxury books, and sleep whenever I can. There's nothing more I desire, I still would write with a $15 fountain pen, swallow silly medicines and stay away from the herd (no parties, no orgy, no schemers), I still wouldn't travel nor have a cell phone to answer my nonexistent friends. Actually I'd study all day, and learn how to play harpischord - don't ask why.
I'd give $20m for business, $10m for the town house, $5m for bought books, $1m for a bespoke car, and die with the rest.

Easy life.

There are alot of people here who like to spend money.

I would:

Save all of it, and only spend the interested on a custom house of my dreams that would cost around 2 Million, and a couple decent cars at about $30k each. I would also do alot of traveling around the world. But not spending alot of money doing it, just staying at middle of the road places and not eating at expensive restaurants. I don't think my life would change too much besides not having to worry about money anymore.

I've dreamed of not quitting my job, but I would definitely become the biggest douche bag i.e. lighting cigars with $20 in my office, or parking my Aston sideways in the front of the building. If my boss complained, I would simply throw $50 bills at her, and tell her to ''buy yourself something nice''.

I have simple tastes, so 10mil for the mom, property in NY, and Paris. Autos, clothes, luxury items, etc. Open a few ultra high-end clubs, travel the world taking pics. That would make me happy beyond all measure
