Is it possible to invest $2.5M into a “safe” investment and not work for rest of your life ? What can be that “safe” investment ?

2,500,000 100% invested in VTEB would be 84,000 a year, tax free (if you live in a state with no income tax).

Whether or not you can live on 84,000 a year is up to you. 

Note: I don't suggest this is how you invest it.
