I used my first batch of earned ISK to purchase an incredibly large plot of land on a planet in the Kor-Azor region.
Once construction is completed(which should be fairly soon I'm told), my entire remaining planetbound family - Mother, Father, Grandparents, 3 Sisters, 5 Brothers - will be relocated from Mishi IV to the luxurious new grounds.
How about you Summit folk? I know it has likely been quite a long time since you first gained the benefits of a Capsuleer, but do you remember what you did with your first batch of ISK? |

I spent my first million on a Rifter and name-brand fittings. With what was left over, I bought another Rifter.... Just in case.

This, let the money work for you. I didn't major in business for nothing.
Now the millions that came after, that's another story altogether.

First million? It went with the rest of the first billion or so - as I recall, the instructions were something like "Here's the money for an Obelisk, and the list of supplies we need. Get moving."
Slightly shocking to suddenly be handed that kind of money after having to more or less scrape through the academy. I hadn't seriously expected to put the freighter training to use for ages. |

After five years, I'm not really even sure what the first million ISK I earned went towards. Probably toward fitting a Catalyst or Incursus that I used while doing freelance work for the Navy early on.
As I started earning money, I began to stick with a "buffer" policy on the liquid assets in my wallet - as my wallet balance passed certain levels, I would designate everything under that an "emergency fund" and avoid touching it. For a long time this point was located roughly around 2 billion ISK (I'd set it at about 500 million and 1 billion before that), but since then now it is several times that.
I can easily afford most things I would want at this point, but I still find this artificial restriction helps keep me mindful of my spending and how much I earn.

my first million was part of fifty million donated to me by a friend as a "welcome to immortality" present.
I believe I spent some of that money on a Cormorant. I don't recall what happened to the Cormorant.

First million? I think I used part of it to upgrade the existing fittings on my Punisher - my first real, active hull - and the rest got saved away to start a 'buy me a cruiser' fund.
"Upgrade" being a relative term, though. I look at that thing now and wince at the equipment it has on it. |

If you're responding to Mr. Kalamari's comment, combat suits are not 'frivolity.' They're a necessary part of an operative's work.

Drop suits. They're what the dusters fight in. They stop bullets and a wide range of other things that kill you.

These are DUST ground unit dropsuits.
Though some ladies can be intrigued by men in armor as well, I hear.

It was probably spent on either furthering my education or mining vessals. At the time I was a Capsuleer miner in...Jouvulen if I remember correctly. Me and many others. Through that I found the people that became part of my first Corporation.
Really, your first million ISK is inconsequential. Your first month or so though, that makes far more of an impact on one's career. |

About a third of mine was spent on training that would help me train other skills quicker, back before those courses were integrated into the undergraduate courses. The rest was spent on other basic training, and an Imicus of all things. |

To clarify, I am talking about advanced level dropsuits, with advanced tech and modules. Since I had no clue what to do with them at the time, my first million quickly burned on those suits.

I bought a catalyst. I remember it quite well because I had a snowball fight in it. Its strange to remember a little ship like that, I only had it for a week before I sold it to pay for fittings for a cruiser.
Life seemed to move so much more quickly then, but really, its because the rungs were so much closer together.

My that is a while ago. But I remember the little ship fondly.
A Burst, because I noticed early on that I wanted to go the way of industry.
The remainder of the money was spent on skillbooks to try to get me an ORE barge further down the line.

Well coming out of a bad childhood with a family space explorers that were butchered by sansha pirates while traveling I left my home station in tintoh and turned into a bit a space gypsy, tormented by my family's death offering my services to anyone who would accept them.
Finding myself in Amarr low-security space fighting back the Minmatar for a decent wage upon earning my first million isk I went dark packed up my personal belongings, one kestral, one family photo and a cargo hold full off ammo I burned towards Jita determined to avenge my family upon arrival I met what I thought to be such a nice guy who said he had enough of life and wanted to give his wealth to someone who showed him there was kindness left in New Eden, I blindly handed him my one million isk on the promise he would double it and I watched him run through the corridors of the caldari navy assembly plant in Jita.

Unlike some people I know these days my first million isk was kind of a big deal.
I think nearly all of it was spent expanding and improving my family owned corporation "Deninard Mining Industry Inc." That was quite a while ago though. Before it went bust and I found out I was suitable for capsuleer training. |
