I would start a non-profit worldwide literacy foundation, and employ my family and loved ones in the foundation.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

I'd hire the most expensive escort in my city for a "date", take a one-month trip to Israel, and buy a luxury condo in New York.

Use it to fund development of other things, more likely to lead me to more money. With which I could use exert sufficient influence to make the world a much better place.

Invest it. One million dollars given enough time will increase by a significant amount. Besides, I really do not know when the ideal time to use this money so it would be more ideal to invest, increase the wealth and then be able to use it as I please.

You do recognize that starting your own business is not some easy thing. Small business owner is considered by US news to be one of the most overrated jobs, and can cause major stresses in terms of properly budgeting your money and your time. If you do not have a good grasp on business and a good idea for a new service your entrepreneurial idea may have a lower rate of return than you'd wish, such as negative.

The same things I'm doing now. A million dollars really isn't that much.

A million is very significant and represents for most people a lot of work and savings, usually a few years of savings to almost impossible savings.
