The options are not mutually exclusive, but select the one which would be your primary focus.
If "Other," please explain.

I voted candidates. But would also spend it to push pro-liberty ballot propositions, lobby for pro liberty legislation/repeal of bad laws. Other things too.
I really don't see your other options having as much of an impact. Did the Judge having a show on Fox help us? Maybe a little, but Ron Paul's campaigns did 1,000 times more, I love Judge Nap but he encouraged us more than he converted us. 10 million could win a guy like him a damn senate seat.
Colleges and think tanks have an influence on our society but I doubt you could reverse things just by having some libertarian ones.
Dear @William Tell,
Do you really think that it's feasible (given any amount of money) to sustainably win elections?
...given the irrationality of the electorate?
I do not.
I mean, we can win here and there, but, ultimately, it's Sisyphus' workout routine.
So...how about converting the masses?
Well, this is like painting a frog; it keeps jumping in the water. Kind of a futile enterprise.
Alternately, I voted for the "libertarian Harvard" (or, better, Eton: ...young child's fragile eggshell mind).
With enough money, and good taste, and wisdom, we could cause the 0.01% to be hardcore libertarians.
...and how much money will they have?
...to then donate to libertarian causes?
...think about it.
...with which you would dick about and play Rambo (I would too)?
What else would you do with that land?
Put a school on it and you've got something..
I do actually. The electorate might seem irrational, but they are pretty predictable. Rand won because he was able to fund a better Senate campaign than his opponent. Same with Massie and the others. Our guys usually do pretty good but get outspent and out smeared. Combining the grassroots with money wouldn't guarantee we always win but if you are talking a billion $ absolutely we could win a good percentage of the races we pick.
Well yes and no. Spending a billion on trying to convert the general population to liberty in general would be a waste. But we could successfully fund certain issue campaigns. I mostly agree though.
I get your point. I just am not convinced making a "libertarian Harvard" or Eaton could attract and convert the people you want. Or ensure the success for their careers we want or see coming out of the current colleges. The Ivy League is a gateway for/from the elite. We wouldn't be the elite. Also we currently do have some very wealthy supposed friends of liberty and most of them don't do anything for us. Every now and then one might give 500,000 + to a super pac but that's about it.Alternately, I voted for the "libertarian Harvard" (or, better, Eton: ...young child's fragile eggshell mind).

Hard to chose just one because if I had that kind of money I'd probably try all of them but I'd focus on the mass media and the school.
I chose create a libertarian mass-media network to convert the general population.
Other: Fund an awareness campaign teaching people how to subvert the system. How to live their own lives in peace and harmony without funding or interacting with the beast. How to make the state irrelevant in their day-to-day lives.
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire
You could do that with a mass media network. You can host a living free show on mine.

I think creating a libertarian mass-media network would have the most impact.
Don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
It appears there are going to be a lot of them. I wish I knew who else voted for it so I could size up muh competition.
In addition to CaptUSA's free living show, I would want a Hannity and Colmes type show with an anarchist and a statist. I'm thinking of hiring Occam and TheTexan as co-hosts but I'm not set on that if someone else would like to try out.
I would call it, Banana and Texan. No first names.

"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
I would create an underground network of freedom fighters whose sole mission was to subvert and expose the federal government.
*Note to Federal Agents/NSA/CIA bots: I in no way endorse bringing a much needed culling of the federal beast, nor do I advocate violence such as razing the white house, capitol building, scotus building, irs building, and FED building to the ground allowing this once great nation a chance to survive.

Toot the horn about the value of the voluntary economy and the good relationships and peace it helps promote.

Buy media time and make it repetitive. Things like radio and billboards.
Oh and buy off people too.
