I mean I can think of a few nonphilanthropic uses for the money if I was given 10 million, but I could live very comfortably off the interest from 2 million for the rest of my life. If I were somehow given a windfall of 10 million, I can think of a lot of philanthropic things that would also be fun ways to blow through 8 million dollars. Like buying the schools in town better musical instruments. 8 million could go a short ways.
