Imagine you have infinite dollars backing you. What's the thing you'd want to pursue just because it's something you'd like to do with your life?

If you could put in like ten minutes a day planning how to stop the Trisolarian invasion, we’d appreciate it.
Thanks for the reminder that I need to actually watch Three Body Problem (or finish the book) lol

I always wanted to have a farm and be well off enough that I could take a good portion of the yield and just give it out in my old neighborhood.
Kids there are starving, most of them have never seen an eggplant, it's cheap ultraprocessed food or half moldy apples from the food banks.
I know there's a lot of other stuff too, but I think food education is pretty important, most of the adults I knew didn't know how to cook resulting in everyone eating worse for more money, thinking they couldn't afford to eat any healthier.
Although at this point my old neighborhood has been gentrified and filled with $3000/m studio apartments. I'd probably also buy out the neighborhood and give it back to everyone who lived there 10 years ago.

Buy all the corporations and convert them into worker-owned conglomerates a-la Mondragon. End global capitalism. Sponsor legislation in all governments to end the wealth disparity plaguing the world.

Take a large country, like Canada. Promote some truly leftist politicians (and not just solid centrists like the NDP) to see if the country can go left on political merit alone.
Then, if that happens, move to a minimalist socialist state using UBI and degrowth policies. Nationalize any truly inelastic needs - healthcare, education, utilities, mass transportation, Vienna-style social housing, the like.
Go with a hands-off policy for anything else - including corporate welfare. Loans for small businesses, yes, but a complete and abrupt end to corporate hand-outs of any kind. If a company cannot compete, it should be allowed to collapse no matter how big it is.
In the end, the only government left would be institutions to nurture the people, maintain their safety and rights, protect the country, uphold laws, redistribute wealth, and preserve the environment.

Start in the US with the goal of recycling 100% of all recyclables, build waste-to-energy plants, use the energy to power carbon capture, slow/reverse climate change, build the first high powered thorium nuclear power plant. I could keep going, but I like keeping myself grounded in reality.

Garden! Big garden! With trees! Figs tree, cherry tree, plum tree, apple tree, walnut tree, more trees idk. Then I can have people over to eat the surplus produce, and when I'm too old to pick any myself they can be the ones to pick them and share some with me.

Infinite dollars... mass produced eco sustainable housing options using primarily locally sourced resources and talent. Something like putting together a 'franchise' of prefab home mfg centres that I could deploy into a community/future community site, to build houses for that area. If I didn't have infinite dollars, I'd aim to sell them in a more co-operative model mindset, where profit is not the driving force -- aiming to basically balance operating expense and income so that net the business makes about 2%-4% per annum.
By eco sustainable, I'd aim to have them be off-grid oriented, with solar panels and storage batteries by default. Heat pump ready. Made of materials that are less prone to burning (likely metal outer envelope, but I'd trust the engineers). Designed for easy maintenance of key components like water lines. Bathrooms that can convert into hang-drying spaces for laundry, as well as intended out-door spaces for laundry and either a small garden area or a greenhouse module that people could add on. Kitchens designed with dish drying racks to float above sink areas for easier cleanup. Drains in the main floor area of bathrooms to allow for quick rinsing of that area when needed, and to function as drainage overflow protection. Mostly single floor to make earthquake resilience easier as well as things like roof maintenance cheaper.. Any multi-story/multi-unit setup would aim for the same general goals. Likely handle designs similarly to current prefab shops, where there's a handful of premade ones to pick from.

Aside from the make-the-world-a-better-place stuff, I've always wanted to have the space/time to make my own holograms.
I have this idea for claymation+lasers+holograms to make little stop motion films, but as holograms.
I don't know if it's possible, but if like to play with the tech and find out
