It was just you and a fat wad in the bank to blow on whatever grabs you. What would you do first?

I would be very tempted to do something about the truly awful politicians and billionaires causing so much societal damage at the moment, but this is not really the place to discuss the details.
Since there is nobody to cause problems for around me and I have not that many years ahead of me, should something happen to me then the consequences would be mine alone.
Since this is all hypothetical then I think it is within the guidelines of the site.
But why would you waste your last years on politics? You could just shut all that out. You have money to what you want.
Maybe a nice property in the Florida Keys? You could go fishing everyday and BBQ your catch. The world would be your oyster!

I have lived a fairly rich and full life and would like to do some good while I was able (it is all hypothetical).
Just looking out for my own comfort seems a selfish use of such an opportunity when I could be doing something to stop the tyrants and despots in the world.
Yeah, but god forbid when you pass, the tyrants will still exist. The rain will still fall. Nothing will change. All you have is a short time to spend. It's not sefish to indulge in idealism if you're not hurting anyone else.
When you're on your deathbed, you might see what I'm talking about, but it will be too late (hypothetical of course) :)
EDIT, Actually, after re reading your reply, you have no need to do so. What you would wish to do is what you want. Sorry for suggesting otherwise.
