i'd go on vacation... forever
Oh and I don't mean some lavish vacation where I'm dropping thousands a week on meals and performances and shit. I mean moving to the beach house and chillin out
renewable energy....recover 30% within 1 yr through cash grant. the rest of the money will be paid back through a guaranteed ppa or just a sale of the project. anyways 30% is guaranteed
The following on a smaller scale:

In terms of investing- I'd just ask around, find a good pwm guy, and let them do the rest
I heard real estate always goes up in value.
ha!
I'd stick it in a lifetime inflation-adjusted annuity with New York Life or Northwestern Mutual. Then I'd throw a big party and probably become a full-time volunteer with the Salvation Army or another community outreach organization.
$50 million differs significantly from $1 million because the investment objectives shift drastically. $50 million of investable assets makes you an institutional investor and the philosophy shifts to achieve more long-term institutional objectives. Whether this is a charity endowment or a family office, there is a bigger emphasis on wealth preservation and a lower emphasis on liquidity.
Given this, I would suggest a 1/3 of the portfolio go towards hedge fund and private equity investments. If it were me, I would also invest in some art as well because I have always been a strong proponent of art market investing...
calm down pal....
He answered the question as thoroughly as OP was looking for. I thought it was a quality answer.
AB Global high yield, live off interest
I'd buy MF Global
Haha too bad you can't buy it anymore.

Yeah. We'll worry about wealth preservation when we get there. For now I'm sticking to my rusty honda. If/when I get eight figures, I will probably trade it in for a rusty Duesenberg.
if i had 50 MM to invest, i'd set aside $25MM and open up a hedge fund with $25 MM AUM, with no clients. Then after one year, i put in the other $25MM and advertise that my fund doubled in value. Investors will be impressed and I will increase total AUM to $100 MM. I will then pay those investors with another 50MM from the next investors and then pay next investors with the money from investors after that. I'll probably create some innovative shit like a new trading system more superior to the NASDAQ just to look legit. Oh wait...
I want in on this Ponzi scheme.
Vancouver Canucks hit the nail on the head. At that point you shift to a wealth preservation mode. You could invest partially in PE and probably some in dividend producing stocks and then an inflation adjusted annuity like IP said and then just live within your (substantial) means.
Honestly, there would be a chance that I took some of that money say, $2mm-$5mm and purchase a company I can be involved in. Ideally the company would grow and so would my net worth. I don't know what type of company that would be, but it would have to be one that I think I could add value to.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it SECfinance and cphbravo96. I answered the OP's question because it was very interesting / thought-provoking... Unlike every other "how do you invest $1 million?" question, the $50 allotment is a big game-changer and really opens up a lot of different investment strategies. For example, a $1 million portfolio should never consider a highly illiquid and risky investment such as private equity funds but a $50 million one needs to look at the world the way the Yale Endowment fund makes long-term institutional decisions...
I interview a lot of people and will actually use this question in future interviews!
Looks like I should get a management fee for starting this thread...
I would just put all of it in inflation linked bonds and live off the interest. There's a lot I can think of doing with 2 million a year.
50 million worth of MS $17 Dec 11th put options
Buy MF Global Brokerage Unit.
I'd put it all on black.
