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 I must be selfish: Really really big telescopes/particle colliders and space exploration both sound very nice.

Two chicks at the same time. I figure I could make that happen if I had infinite dollars.

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.

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.
Well put. Medicine and doctor care could also be on that table.

Design a Linux phone. So sick of google and android. Currently looking at Fairphone 6 in the US as postmarketOS just got initial support, still need cellular, WiFi, camera to be functional, but considering it just came out a few months ago, pretty impressive.

I would start many companies and organizations based on open source business models developing various software and computer networking technology. The goal for each would be to become self-sustaining (paying employees appropriately but not necessarily attempting to generate profit), and with an objective of creating a unified suite of system administration tools that is equivalent to Microsoft's Active Directory - but 100% open source and interoperable rather than proprietary.
Absolutely none of the developed software would include or support any of the kind of surveillance-state functions that are part of the current trend of collecting data on users for "AI". If possible, technical methods for preventing any such data collection on users would be developed and implemented in every single project.
Overall the goal would be to out-compete every other computer networking product on the market in terms of convenience, stability and affordability - creating a complete set of best-in-class systems which act as a bulwark against any privacy-invading AI-enabled surveillance software.
*Edit: also some advocacy organizations like the ACLU and EFF with the same overall goal of reducing the global presence of surveillance-state garbage. Basically the antithesis of anything Peter Thiel is trying to do.

Draw all the things instead of worrying about shit. Make my city's public transport free, y'know, like the Waynes did. Lobby to ban cars from the inner city. Donate a bunch to whoever has the power to shrink the waiting list for autism assessment to a few weeks at most. Also donate a bunch to research on ME/CFS and lipoedema (volunteer as tribute). Donate to research in general.

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.

Let's team up with my infinite resources also on this! Double infinity revenge!

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.
