    Buy the USA and sell it for scrap, like a venture capitalist.

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

        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.

          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.

            They are already. Just not respected in the same way everywhere.

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

                    you have infinite dollars

                    Spend infinite dollars in a short time until the dollar is worthless.

                    Then, live a simple life somewhere in the Mediterranean.

                      Pursue a career in culinary, burn myself out in commercial kitchens, then become a home cook and cook for family and friends holding BBQ and potluck block parties every week.

                      I realize during covid that I wasnt feeling fulfilled with my office job, and did odd jobs in between. One of it was helping a mutual friend's small eatery as a cook. And felt fulfilled in he short 3 months I worked there before they were forced to shut down because of continuing lock down and a flood, than the up to that point 7 years of office work.

                      I don't have savings to just cut off not working, took too many debt and got scammed out of a simple fraud credit card spending scam call. And my mental health was spiraling down to suicide ideation. Silver lining at that office was that we were contracted with a hospital to set up a mental health triage system so I got help from there. Bad thing was 2 years ago that team just left the company wholesale and even advised me not to go anywhere. Now I feel trapped that the meager amounts of searching for other work, not knowing how to whore myself out to companies for better pay because idk what the fuck I've done to whore out, just to fight inflation as the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

                      I'm a gullible motherfucker 🥹

                            I would do so those things we said we would do as children i.e feed people. But, also go after all these fools destroying our world.

                            Yeah. I don't see how people hear "infinite dollars" and say they want to get into cooking or develop an app. I would pay millions of people across the globe a thriving wage to take direct action saving coastal kelp forests, rebuild ecosystems without permission, and maybe even get around to some vigilantism.

                                I'd start a gay gym with pool, spa, sauna, bar etc. I'm talking about the kind of place where you will see obscenities.

                                  Honestly, this would be a decent way to just hit the reset button on the world. You have a magic supply of infinite money? Fuck it, everyone is a billionaire now, in every single currency. Sure, billionaires might try to leverage hard assets instead of liquid cash, but that’ll only get them so far when anyone can just buy their billion dollar business out from underneath them. The short term fallout would be hyperinflation of mythic proportions, and global pandemonium. Long term, we may actually see some socialist change in regards to the fact that money is largely useless now.

                                          The question was about what you want to do - not what would have the biggest impact or look best on your resume.
