You'll get bored doing nothing living off investments, and living life with no purpose. Significantly more likely to get a degenerative brain disease like dementia as a result also.

So what do? Maybe explore some startups in your field that you can invest some money into. Probably some interesting things you can do others can't. Read Wikinomics example of large data being used for increased findings of gold fields and how technology enhances that these days? Maybe using tethered drones for better ground exploration, with AI and computer vision in untapped regions?
