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?

I’d love to pursue iOS development.

Provide food, housing, clothing, and other essentials to the people for free. Help them set up their own system of mutual support and solidarity. Make money irrelevant.
Free education and zero percent interest loans to enable anyone to start a cooperative or worker owned business

Bring back public broadcasting on both a federal and state/city level.
Fund the aggressive development of walkable greenspace, boost public transit and put measures in place to keep it un-gentrified.
Set up a public fund for trans folks of all ages to get appropriate gender-affirming care (medical, clothing, etc) and cover legal fees.
Make sure no kid ever has to pay for a decent school meal ever again.
And once those and any other QoL ideas I get are done; game and bake like nobody’s business lol. And set up a full blown home lab, and pick up VR again.

I would spend billions of dollars ensuring that Trump dies poor and homeless.

Lots of bad things to lots of bad people. To quote the Count of Monte Cristo: "I will surely use it for revenge."
Let's team up with my infinite resources also on this! Double infinity revenge!

Yeah the other commentors have a point, but after all the lord's work is said and done, I'm fucking making video games and nobody can stop me.
Why wait until after? With infinite money, you could buy controlling interest in every game publisher, fire and replace the execs, and have the studios focus their efforts on making quality games, rather than monetization.
Of course, you could also start your own studio(s) and make whatever the hell you wanted.

Build a time machine to travel back to the right moment in time to beat the shit out of people who grow up to be scumbags because they never got the shit beat out of them.

If money were no object, I would build a reusable-glass network and force Walmart, Target, Kohl's, etc. to start a global glass shipping program to take customer-returned glass products (like after you use up all the vinegar, mayonnaise, etc. in your glass jars, etc.) and get them back into the production factories for reuse. All containers would follow standardized sizes (several dozen classifications) to make reuse easy.

Probably some FOSS projects. There's a few things bugging me and I have a custom DSL/programming language idea I've been dreaming about for the last ~2-3 years that's like if Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes and Nix had a baby together. It's 2025, how come is it that I can't just "one Lemmy instance at lemmy.max-p.me please" and get a worldwide multi-cloud multi-million user capacity instance in 10 minutes.
Next on my list would be a filesystem, because for some reason I find myself wanting something that's LVM, ZFS, Ceph and PostgreSQL all in one. It's 2025, how come I can't just be "here's all my drives, and the drives on my NAS, and the drives on my remote server, figure out some nice unified filesystem for all of this shit".

I feel like a lot of people are missing the “with your life” part of this. While I’m sure I’d love to magically fix the world’s problems, to answer the actual question:
I’ve always pictured a house built into the side of a cliff face that’s right next to a road. The rock pulls away to reveal the garage whenever I’m nearby. I’d have just a few rooms, nothing too crazy. I’ve always loved the idea of an underground house. I’d also have a decent-sized workshop/garage for the many projects I’m always working on.
I’d also try starting my own business for the first time and I’d be curious to see how my skillset applies. I can’t bring myself to do it in today’s current situation.
That and a Lamborghini. Because why the hell not? That’s what fantasy is for.
All this comes with the disclaimer that I don’t have any kids.

Producing Broadway shows. The whole process of workshopping a theatrical production just seems like such an interesting - and communal - art form.

Run a dog sanctuary, just me and a big piece of land with tons of dogs. Animals are better than people, give unconditional love, and don't drain my batteries like other people do

I would divest the world from fossil fuels, fund carbon capture. Build housing and mass transit like mad. Feed everyone who needs it, make education and healthcare human rights.
Basically star trek.
make education and healthcare human rights.
They are already. Just not respected in the same way everywhere.

End fascism
How's that related to money?

If I must be selfish: Really really big telescopes/particle colliders and space exploration both sound very nice.
Find the Borg and make an end with them!
