Invest, Invest, Invest. Design and build an eco-friendly house, complete with enough land to make a solar array with battery backup feasible, with geothermal heating and cooling with heat pumps, solar-array-powered water electrolyser in which to collect hydrogen to power my hydrogen fuel cell car I'd buy from BMW...or just buy a tesla roadster.

Of course, make sure the solar array is large enough to power my bowling alleys in the basement, arcade games throughout the house, my full-size theater w/seating, multitudes of computers and video game systems, with enough leftover to sell back to the utilities companies.

In addition, I would pay off my parent's house and put together a nice retirement package for them, but not tell them until they try to pay their next mortgage payment ;). I'd give my sister a million and my little brother's million would be put in a trust for 2 years after he graduates college and gets a job so he can learn how to respect money.

I would then travel...wherever the hell I wanted to. Go back to Japan, see Australia and New Zealand, China, Russia, India, All of Europe, Africa with a few safaris as well as Egypt, South America/central America with Mayan, Inca, and Aztec ruins, and then spend a year around the Caribbean, hopping islands.

then, since at that point i would most likeyl have spent the majority of the money, probably come home and work. :-/ 30M doesn't go as far as you'd think.
