How to best invest money from company sale?

Hello!

I’m using a throwaway account to stay anonymous.

I’m 24, and recently I received $6M USD from the sale of my startup. I want to invest everything, and I’ve been thinking about the best strategy. Here’s the breakdown I thought of - what’s your opinion?

|Asset|Amount (USD)|Comment|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Acquirer Stock|2M|Can't sell it right now. Acquirer is similar to Constellation Software.|
|Managed Portfolio|1.1M|I've been working with the person who manages it for 5 years, I trust them and I like their strategy.|
|ETFs|1.3M|60% S&P (Voo), 25% outside US (VEA), 15% emerging markets (VWO)|
|Bonds|400k|Liquid quickly sellable bonds - should act as a cash reserve.|
|Properties|1M|In different locations|

I’m currently staying with my company and will have a salary, so don’t plan to withdraw any money.

My goal with the money is to invest it for the long term (30+ years) and I would rather have lower returns than high risk i.e. crypto or gambles.

Thank you!
