You get to keep only enough to maintain a very modest lifestyle in a low-cost-of-living area, the rest of it has to go towards improving the world in some way.
Edit: Given the previous rules that you must maintain a very modest lifestyle in a low-cost-of-living area, would you rather choose to opt out and not have the money at all?

Hire a LOT of hitmen
Take power everywhere i could and force permanent wealth equality.
Then redistribute the rest.
Develop High yield and sophisticated lab controlled food production facilities that could run all year without fear of climate instability to rev the throttle on sustainable long term food production.
I would start a non profit foundation that develops and maintains cost effective, autonomous boats to clean up the great garbage patch.
I am envisioning something like a small fleet of autonomous boats that dock with large motherships dump their cargo of garbage and head out again The motherships can also work with manned crafts that can handle heavier e
The motherships should be nuclear powered, have water treatment plant so the garbage can be dryed and brought to land .
Use every last dollar to fund a revolution.
I’m going to build a shit ton of housing.
Establish non profit in country that is not part of international patent sytem and move there.
Invest in university(ies) in that country and start close cooperation.
Start making hardware / manufacturing device specifications and publish them as opensource.
Establish something like github but for hardware + manufacturing. Establish open factory / manufacturing project.
Publish free books about building houses / vehicles / electronics / manufacturing.
Invest in alternative opensource software to Autodesk / Solidworks / Catia.
Start open medicine project that shows how medicines are producded from herbs and plants.One million dollars per assassin until one of them eventually gets through to Trump, then Vance, than Musk, Than the Republican Supreme Court. After that, a 50,000 dollar bounty on any sitting member of Trump’s Cabinet and any sitting member of the GOP.
Even if it takes every penny to finish that list and I end up right back where I started. I’ll still consider it money well spent.
Anything less than a full Nuremberg level cleanse of nazi’s in America is just not going to be sufficient.
Kill them all.
And I’m not being even the least bit facetious.
Hire assassins to take care of the 1%

Am I allowed to still be employed to earn an income for my own lifestyle?
Anyhow, probably fund lab-grown egg and meat (lab grown dairy already exists) and deal with the red tape and political obstacles it is facing.
Find out the best application of money to buy companies and turn them into worker coops.
Assassins
I like where your mind is at, truly the best decision.
Kick them in the nuts (or the stomach, in case they don’t have nuts), because relying on individuals with money to solve our problems is one of our fucking problems.
Set up a global
bountyGoFundMe that anyone can contribute to anonymously.It keeps an up-to-date ranking of everyone worth over 1 billion, and pays out to anyone who removes someone from the list.
Invest the money, and use the after-inflation income to do the work.
That way, you have a constant and near-permanent resource stream with which to do the work. It’s only if the markets crash as a whole that you need to worry, and nothing says you cannot build additional revenue streams along side that wealth.
I would start with the most pressing issues for Canada - housing, and the homeless crisis that arises from shitty wages combined with exploding costs. Buy large tracts of land within each city, then economically force the cities to approve large arcologies that blend residential with business spaces. Make it super-attractive for even the wealthy to want to rent homes there, but turn around and then make assisted living units available in those same areas to low-income families and homeless people who want to get off the street. Have those communities to be tightly integrated across all social strata, so everyone benefits. Plus, actual social support that helps those traumatized by homelessness to get their lives together and return to being contributing members of society.
Exactly what I would do. Build tiny house communities for low income housing that sustain themselves.
They would have some community features like a tool library and food garden and a dog area, and individual indoor and outdoor spaces for everyone.
A portion of either the rent or sale price would be set aside for each person for financial advice or mental health support annually.
Ideally built by a combination of master craftspeople and trainees from at risk youth.
