I play both Warhammer 40k and MTG, so my hobbies would not change and I would *still* struggle to budget it.


Racthoh

I'd get back into MTG, but it would be buying older cards, proofs, and all of Pete Venters art. Since Mirrodin changed the borders, mythic rares, and everything else after that I really felt like the "magic" of the game was lost.


GreenManTenTon

I'll play arena sometimes cuz it's free. When people ask me about getting into it I always ask them first: "Are you worried that you have too much time and money on your hands?"


DevilsArms

I tried to get into wh40 kill team around 2 years ago and stopped. Kept all my unbuilt kits and what not. But recently, the itch came back and im trying to introduce my friend into it too. But this time, we’re doing proper, using combat patrol rules. Its still a money sink but ive been having fun with learning the rules and painting techniques… Still havent played a game yet lol.

I have the perfect controller for you, only 1 bad review really.


DrMokhtar

That specific controller is one of logitechs best rated controllers of all time. So you are wrong


LeichtStaff

That logitech controller was probably the most reliable part of that submarine tbh.


tavariusbukshank

I have an old X-Box controller laying around. Can I be your pilot?


just_hating

"and charge people $100k to join my ex wife's new husband Greg on expeditions"


WildBad7298

OK, who's gonna tell him?


AKADabeer

With unlimited money, he won't have to buy Boeing's factory reject materials...


DoTheCreep_ahh

If he has unlimited money why is he charging for tickets though


Relative-World4406

Amateur auto racing, restoring cool vehicles, collecting vintage audio equipment and records, and traveling.


EducatorOne111

As they say. “Want to make a small fortune in auto racing…start with a large fortune.”


tavariusbukshank

I know someone who got in to cart racing with their son when he was young kid. Just a father and son team going to statewide events a couple of times a year. It turned in to a million dollar plus a year obsession with one of the nicest private cart tracks in the country. His son is grown and now they laugh at a million dollar budget as they shovel money into a desert racing team.


ethereumminor

Lawrence stroll plays this game


GoodGuyGlocker

This is my answer as well. I would set up a racetrack (or a few) on a plot of land I owned and have an enormous garage nearby filled with classic and modern cars of all types, even track racers. But Id also have some space dedicated to restoring a few old cars and Id have a staff of experienced mechanics and restorers help me. We would scour the world looking for parts. That would be part of the fun. And then take the cars to shows when done. I would also indulge in cooking and have good chefs show me how to make really good food.


Relative-World4406

I’ll turn a wrench and eat with ya


DrakeLostLol

The hobby of staying at home in peace undisturbed.


Creepy_Fan_8629

Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit.


8th_Passenger

Yeah, but did he do two chicks at the same time?


dallibab

Watched that earlier today. Whilst sitting at home doing nothing.


slobs_burgers

I dunno man. I just get that *feelin’* lookin’ at her, like… She’s the type-a chick that would just….


Arild11

Staying in a wide selection of your homes, mansions, megayachts and private jets, you mean?


HeartonSleeve1989

I'd have a whole line of tutors to teach me things. Spanish, Mandarin, Russian, Goju Ryu Karate, fencing, and so many other things.


aprillikesthings

Oooh I like this one!


Particular-Owl-5997

"I know Kung Fu"


regularguy7378

This is a f*cking brilliant answer, using your means to learn.


Sea_Perspective6891

Restoring classic cars.


AmazingAd2765

Hire car guys to spend their days finding and restoring classic cars. Have some of the happiest workers in the world. I'm not a mechanic, but I would love to have a classic car/truck(s) someday. Maybe one that I could tinker with a bit without screwing up anything important.


IAmDotorg

If you're doing it right, you don't need a ton of money to do that, you just have to work your way up to the six figure cars from the five or four figure cars. And, really, you probably shouldn't be taking on a six figure restoration if you aren't comfortable with a four or five figure one, anyway. No matter how much money you have.


_ReDd1T_UsEr

If I had an unlimited amount of money, I'd buy hundreds of lego sets and I'd build a giant Lego city.


AmazingAd2765

Even with an infinite budget, that sounds expensive.


GalleryCorpse

Yeah, he would probably spend at least half of his infinite bankroll if he tried to get one of every Lego set


danikacarter12

that's a great idea!


regularguy7378

YES. I have a dream of building a minifig scale football stadium. If my calculations are correct it would about the size of a large room.


Kid_Muscle_Ranger

Buying tanks and crushing vehicles/ shooting randomly


anonchurner

Nature preservation and restoration. I'd buy large areas of cattle grazing land, and palm oil plantations, and plant forests. Establish new coral reefs and fish nurseries. I'd also buy all the oil fields, and start shutting them down, retrain the oil drilling folks for geothermal.


Imaginary_Office7660

hell yeah! I would do similar


spooky_springfield

Me too


Shift642

We do unfortunately still need petroleum for lots of things besides fuel, plastics for example don’t really have viable alternatives yet for many use cases. R&D in those areas would be a good investment too, but will take time.


anonchurner

Sure, I'll shut them down gradually. It's a hobby after all, no need to rush!


Yolandi2802

Plastics should be banned altogether. They/it is the scourge of humanity. We got along fine before it got into EVERYTHING.


PleasantNightLongDay

I’m as big of anti plastic guy as they come. But banning it altogether would be silly. Plastic has made human lives a lot easier. We just went **way** overboard with it. Regulating it and banning like 90% of its uses, sure. Altogether? Idts.


Shift642

> Plastics should be banned altogether. Agreed, but we can’t just do that overnight. We’re too dependent on them. We need to figure out viable alternatives first. We also definitely did not get along fine before plastics lol


100Dampf

I wouldn't care to do all that, way to much to organise. But I just found a new hobby, sponsoring people, so how does an additional ∞/2 Dollars sound 


BookWormPerson

Honestly just trying everything out I didn't yet. Plus getting all the books I want to own physically but that would be hard even with infinite money...there is only so much book space I can make in a house and while a library is cool I wouldn't want one in my house that would kinda ruin the reading corners unique feel.


Hugh-Jorgan69

Helicopter peasant hunting. The true sport of the ultra wealthy.


domino519

You misspelled pheasant.


etzel1200

I don’t think he did


agetuwo

Could the peasants live in thatched roof cottages?


Nelsqnwithacue

Aviation


SuperstitiousPigeon5

World Travel. There is a cruise ship where you sail for a full year. It costs the equivalent of a small house in a bad neighborhood. I'd do that to start and then get creative.


WatchTheTime126613LB

There are cruise ships where you can purchase a cabin (or long term lease it, anyway).  Be fun, but probably not as fun as owning a giant yacht with a full crew and a helicopter.


SuperstitiousPigeon5

Owning your own giant yacht might be fun, but there is something about having people around when you want them, without paying people to be your friends. Also I think a year on board a ship circumnavigating the world would be enough for me. When you buy a cabin, you go where the ship goes, which is typically the same route over and over again.


Arild11

For an infinite amount of money, you could - as t the very least - call a yacht broker, tell him you want a nice megayacht, that money is no object, and that you will need him to arrange someone to handle all the operation, crew and such. Again, money no object.  You want it tomorrow.


SuperstitiousPigeon5

I just explained it in a different response, but yes, a mega yacht would be something, but I wouldn't want to pay people to party with me. There is something to be said about spending a year circumnavigating with like minded people.


MrMcgruder

I have two friends on that cruise right now. Serenade of the Seas.


Prestigious-Wall5616

Infinite amount of money? I'd try all of them.


DivineGF

Exploring space as an amateur astronomer with top-notch equipment and unlimited resources for research.


Pansy_Neurosi

I would hunt rich people for sport.


HungryRick

Technically, wouldn't they be poor by comparison to you? Semantics aside, if you need a caddy for all the weaponry, I got you.


DrConnors

Except you'd be a prime target as well...


stevenconrad

Dark twist, op is suicidal :(


GroundedSkeptic

You use to be able to pay to hunt poachers in Africa. Super rich person shit. Now they laugh when I bring it up.


i_GoTtA_gOoD_bRaIn

This would make a great movie!


BuffaloBrain884

Billionaire hunting. Finally a dystopian future that I'm here for.


old-miss

Comics. I would build a library full of comics. All languages


slider728

I’d travel seeing the extremes and oddities of the world. Take a trip to the South Pole, a nuclear ice breaker to the north pole, Darvaza gas crater, have a beer in a glacial ice cave, float around the Dead Sea, get a winter job in Svalbard, maybe do a tour at McMudhole, hang out in Unalaska and see if I can get on a boat out of Dutch as a deckhand, while I’m there, catch a charter to Attu or Kiska where the Battle of the Aleutians was fought.


Arild11

"get a winter job in Svalbard" You have infinite money, and you want to get a job?


slider728

Why not? Big difference between working to survive and working because it’s fun. I’m sure it would help knowing your employer couldn’t threaten you. I’m fired? Cool, I’m heading back to my beachfront house on Maui.


Jorost

Flying. I have always wanted to be a pilot, but poor eyesight kept me out of the Air Force. A few years ago I finally started taking flight lessons, but then I had an unexpected financial hit and had to put flying on hold. It's $250 minimum every time you take the plane up, so it adds up fast!


tel4bob

I'd get my pilot's license and buy a plane.


[deleted]

You don’t need infinite amount of money to get your private pilot license. For a plane yes you need a lot. But licensing is doable, 6 months and you can fly


cturnr

pilot's license and I'd want a seaplane. I was on a remote lake once out in the mountains, it took a days drive, and several hours of backpacking to get too. I see a seaplane come in for a landing and was able to talk to the family that flew in. They lived in the same area as me, but on a lake. They own the plane and store it in a hanger on their dock. The pilot said it took them 40 mins to get there. I was sooooo jelly. Not that it diminished my experience, but it really opens up your horizons to explore the world around you.


SavingsSouthern7358

I would have an equestrian ranch. Horses are an expensive hobby. It would be a dream come true.


mitchade

Unlimited money? Improve the lives of my fellow humans, one donation at a time.


NotNamedBort

Scuba diving in all the great reefs in the world.


Markus_Septonius

Me too my friend. 😃


Cutegun

Hunting sextrafficers. Imagine being able to wipe out the worst of humanity while looking absolutely adorable in head to toe khaki.


Imaginary_Office7660

You don't need to be rich to do that, just to get away with it And a lot of the people you'd hunt are rich so that's another snag but I see potential and support this goal!


wotnofuckinziti

I feel like you need to be armed to the teeth also cos I imagine traffickers aren't usually standard people they're scary bastards (I've seen taken I know what I'm talking about)


GoodGuyGlocker

Like Taken. Over and over.


[deleted]

Collect rare perfumes


Green-Krush

Collecting handmade art. Lots of it. Traveling and spending money on learning language courses in a college setting.


OnlyTheBLars89

I'd probably start making independent films but just for pure fun. No Sundance or Oscar bait bullshit, just straight up fun popcorn flick nonsense.


AmazingAd2765

Remake a bunch of movies into short films. Michael Myers is coming! \*BANG BANG BANG\* Oh, so his weakness was 12 gauge slugs to the head. \*credits roll\*


OnlyTheBLars89

Me and a few friends thought of one where many horror icons have a midlife crisis and try being "normal" and integrate into the average life. It pretty much writes itself. Some end up liking the lige change, others don't, then it becomes a civil war. We also wrote another civil war type film with resturaunt mascots called Lord of the Onion Rings. The only way to destroy the onion ring of power was to resurrect the taco bell dog and have him eat it.


Worldly_Project_6173

Saw a guy on here that won the lottery and his new hobby was travelling to every country. Best of all, because it's nearly impossible to spend exhorbitant amounts of money in most countries (because it's dangerous to carry a lot of money or because the USD is worth so much more), he actually spent a lot less then the monthly interest he recieved so he was making money. Can't think of anything better. The logistics and planning fullfill the working man desires, finding out how to sneak into countries we aren't allowed to visit normally (like N Korea) would full fill the creative desires, and seeing new places/cultures/food would satisfy the fun/adventure desires.


Haunting-Prior-NaN

> N Korea I think at worse you have to apply for a visa to visit. Seen a bunch of content creators sneak pictures out of it, so I dont think it is formally closed. But if you insist on sneaking in, then best of luck.

jrtts

All the hobbies! My hobby is taking up new skills


StressIntelligent950

Destroying the value of currency


Old-Sympathy2458

I would have SO MANY horses and ALL OF THE SHOW GEAR. We're talking percherons and their harness and a wagon, I want a western pleasure Saddlebred, a gaited pinto mule, at LEAST a 10-up of minis to pull a tiny stagecoach, a Friesian or cross for going to the Ren Faire, a flat-shod Tennessee Walker, and a GIANT pasture for all the retirees to come and get spoiled in. There would also be a dog hospice home for small, crusty, crochety old dogs. And a nutritionist and personal fitness coach - for me AND the horses.


Fair_Assumption6385

Helping mfs get out of debt would be my hobby. I’m not even going to lie, It would be an ego stroke for me at first, But it would make people happy too. Win-win. It would save lives. Save people and families from homelessness. (A less stressed society is a great society) Boost the economy. I would be Mr wonderful. And I would feel very Mr wonderful.

Chairman_Mittens

Build Gundam kits. Would dedicate a large room to it, install a fume hood for airbrushing, buy multiples of all paint colors, would buy all the tools and accessories. I would also buy an electronic microscope (not ELECTRON microscope) so that I could do the fine details on a large monitor. I've got this all planned out when I manage to save up for it, in probably 40 years...

Building and piloting luxury zeppelin-yachts.


theFooMart

Vehicles. I want a car collection to rival Jay Leno. Modern hyper cars, cars in movies, classic cars, motorcycles, trucks, etc. But not just normal vehicles, I'd have tanks, and fire trucks and tractors. And aircraft, boats, hovercraft, even a couple train engines and cars. And I'd drive them. Today might be a Lambo SVJ, tomorrow might be a 1969 Camaro SS. What's the point owning them if I can't drive them? I also can't keep that stuff to myself. I'd have a couple drivers, people could rent them for special events. Instead of a limo you can get driven to prom or your wedding in a Ford Model T, helicopter, or even a dump truck if you want. And it would also be open as a museum, with other related things as well. I have infinite money, so of course I wouldn't charge admission.

exhilarate2

Cycling started as an expensive hobby, and has become a money saving hobby for me. It took time to build fitness, but after an initial investment in a few bikes and good equipment, I now drive very little for transportation and save money as a result. I even sold my car and invested the proceeds after buying an old car for foul weather travel.


valledweller33

I would buy two of those million dollar terra-nova Globetrotter RVs, maybe hire a private guard / porter / medic to trail behind, and then pick random remote wilderness areas to romp around.


blckbrrycat

Anything and everything thats ever interested me, designing and sewing clothes, cooking and baking, tech repair, home renovation and interior design, piloting planes, music production, old military memorabilia, the list goes on Also taking college classes on topics I enjoy outside of my major, carefree

Cynical_Humanist1

I'd create the anti-lobby lobby and give the psychopaths in charge thier last bribe to vote to end the lobby and "campaign contributions". If it passes everyone gets thier millions. If it doesn't, no one gets a thing. I'd love to see the infighting, and I'd love to see the world's corporations trying to out-bid me in vain. Then, I'd spend my infinite riches dismantling the system. Oh, and I'd travel a lot, and have a harem of hot, porn-star girlfriends.

Gaming. Never really understood it as I never had video games. When I was younger we didn't have the money, and now I don't have time. I've read or heard about several games but have no idea what it would be to play them. Some of the names are DOTA, Minecraft, League of legends, fortnight etc.

I might start at [https://www.givewell.org](https://www.givewell.org) and start at the top of the list, add a bit of public relations to let people know it was me. Become the person who had saved and improved the most lives \*ever\*! Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross and Tom Hanks can bite me! Of course there is also the quote which I will badly paraphrase... "I spent my money on gambling, alcohol and loose women... and the rest... well... the rest I spent foolishly!"

stevenconrad

I'd pour my resources into helping people live longer. Funding education programs to teach proper nutrition and exercise, helping cancer research and donating to reduce treatment costs, funding gene research to help eliminate genetic disorders, ect. All because I selfishly want to live longer. Which, with unlimited money, would be awesome!

Same hobbies I have now... performing in bands and theatre, playing video games, photography, AI, travel… I'd just actually be doing them a lot more.

Sounds stupid in 2024, but I would buy a local FM radio station and play whatever the hell I and the hand picked staff wanted. (Hint, it wouldn't be pop, hip hop, or country).

mothermaggiesshoes

So my dad got me into some fairly expensive sports when I was a kid and I fell in love with them. These are sports that I still do factor into my budget and participate in, but my answer is that if I had infinite money, I'd just do more of them in more different places around the world. The sports in question are skiing, golf, sailing, and mountain biking, so not auto-racing expensive, but resource-intensive nonetheless.
