it sorta depends on if I already was rich with financing setup or if I like one a huge lottery. Im not rich now so im assuming like I won a multi billion dollar lottery. I would talk with lawyers and accountants to see how I could do the following. Half to my wife to do as she pleases but I would encourage her to do as I do with my half. Half of my half goes into a fund that would be very diverse but dividend heavy for stocks and auto rebalance. divedends would go to me to live my life. The other half I would be to give away but split in two. Half for family and friends and half to strangers. I would see if there is ways to give it out without connecting back to me. For the half that goes to others fully half of that would be for use in my country and currently it would be geared toward donations to get campaign finance reform, fighting citizens united. If our democracy was brought back to it would pivot to environmental causes (more important except that anything is useless when the country is useless). the other would be for global and geared toward to helping democratic processes and unbiased news abroad along with climate intiatives. Again all the things would emulate the same fund structure.

Probably never work again. Get a house that I actually like. There's nothing wrong with the house I have, but it's no dream house. It's just a house.
After that, ๐คท. Maybe I could actually take some oversea trips. I hate flying them in coach. Maybe first class wouldn't be so bad.
Hobbies. I like making lots of different things and giving them away. I would fix all sorts of things and give them to the needy. I'd love to fix up crappy houses and cars and everything broken and give it back. I hate throwing things away and love repairing them. I think the world would be a better place if we did that a lot more, so I want to be the change I want to see.

Assuming Elon musk level money with a diversified portfolio that doesn't bias me to a small set of companies or industries. I'd make a man made archipelago on international waters and start my own country. We'd be formed foundation style with a purely meritocratic government and society contributing 100% to the betterment of mankind and our future prosperity. I'd like to envision something like a modern library of alexandria were all are welcome. Alternatively I could just try to make the uk or America less moronic but sadly the state of things just depresses me. We need a hard reset IMO.
