Crazy surprise bonus. How would you invest 70k?

Not sure. I haven't made this salary for long at all. 4 years ago it was 55-60k per year. And my total comp in this job has also gone up considerably and quickly (first year, made 175k, this year double that). So I've ramped up and am trying to save about $150k per year- will be bit over that this year. After my bonus, I should have about 900k net worth, 550k in investments, 350k in home equity, I think the minimum I'd like is 1.5 million in investments and a paid off home, which is hopefully, 4-6 years away. That would give me less than my current expenses which are inflated due to 40 hour per week nanny, house cleaning, meal delivery, etc- expenses that would not be necessary after retirement. 60k would be doable if those fell away. But I have so many kids and things compound so quickly at that point, that I'd probably stay another 5, until at least 50, giving me a conservative $3 million + home. I do have a guest house that rents for about $2k per month. My mom currently lives in it rent free, but it's there as some additional security, since she has the means financially to move out were finances to take a turn. Not interested in rentals beyond that until retired. Job can be pretty crazy. Job plus kids leaves no desire for rental management headache at this point.
