1. Offer to fund a couple internet personalities and independent software devs i follow, no strings attached. Maybe with something more legitimate than online stuff they could be taken seriously or start their own careers.
2. Set up an institution for bio/medical research, and let some philosophy dudes tag along so there's something fun to talk about.
3. Hire very charismatic people to reach out to other rich people that will continue funding it.
4. Never work for anybody again,

Pay off my family's debts (house payment, car payments, student loans, etc.). Then I'd make a way for my friend in D.C. to be able to come back to college here since she had to leave due to a financial situation. Then I'd give enough money to my other friend so she wouldn't have to work two crappy jobs while going to school full time. I would definitely donate a considerable amount to charity.

And then I think I'd use the rest to do random acts of kindness. That girl that served me at KFC last week who told me about how she had to walk 3 miles to work in the cold because she can't afford a car and the bus doesn't run where she lives? Here's $20,000. Get a nice car and keep the change. You have a sick child and your insurance is refusing to pay for life-saving medical treatment and you're barely making ends meet as is? Here's a massive check to pay for medical expenses, plus you can pay off your house and car, which will leave you with some extra money each month. You and your family lost your home and are now living on the streets? Here's a nice family home in a good neighborhood, paid for in full, plus an extra $100,000 to use towards groceries and utility payments.

EDIT: And, okay, I'd probably buy a very nice telescope (I have a nice one now, but I'm talking one that can see a ton of stuff), a microscope, and maybe set up a decent little lab in my house.

Aw hell yeah baby.

Obtain every federal firearm license possible, and buy all the guns I could want, and afford the materials to make them too.
Design the next generation of awesome futuristic handheld killing power.

Start a gun company. (FN, Glock, Heckler and Koch, I'm coming for you.)
Donate money to the NRA and Republican Party in America.
Donate to orphanages, Christian missionary groups, hungry people in Africa, and wounded and/or psychological veteran support groups. (I have a heart, y'know)
Start a market for commercial spacecraft, colonize space.

That is all I can think of for now, if I were as rich as King Solomon.

Donate some to charities of all sorts like those countering the environmental problems, tech research and development/think tanks, cultural preservation charities. I would also donate some money to game devs I like and YouTubers too (especially with COPPA coming into effect soon).

After that, I would contribute to comercial development and investment by setting up a company to generate jobs and create better facilities for my country.

I would also invest into other areas to help them grow, like space colonization, general science companies, etc.

With the rest, I’d like to construct a house in the Scamdinavian and Zen Japanese styles.

Idk what to do to the rest of the money, except to continue donating.

I wanna go into a grocery store and just buy everything to be a total troll. I'd walk up to the counter and tell them "give me everything you've got. I'll pay you a million dollars for it all." Watch that disaster unfold

And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.
