Impenetrable island fortress with my own personal army of Maori warriors. And a menagerie filled with exotic and dangerous animals. And a jetpack. And a stockpile of nuclear missiles. I'd use my money to become a Bond villain, essentially.

I'd use it to build a fire to stay warm. If my account was flooded with an infinite amount of money then it probably wouldn't have much value. Nor would I be able to exchange it for a more valuable currency.
Edit: Maybe it'd get into the wrapping paper business.

If I suddenly acquired an insane amount of money, I would do the following things:
1) Ensure that myself, my siblings, my parents, and all my in-laws are permanently financially solvent.
2) Establish a number of construction companies. One to do road constructions, one to do large building construction, and a few to build houses and other housing units. These companies would work for just a little more than cost.
3) Establish a financial institution to give housing loans to lower to mid income families at lower interest rates. Preferably, this company will only fund new housing built by the companies listed in #2, lowering housing costs for these individuals. Granted, I would not be able to do it for untold numbers of people, but I would do what I could.
4) Fund and support politicians that most closely meet my own personal beliefs. I would need to support their campaigns well enough because I would want them to feel free to rock the boat without losing funding (and no, they do not have to be my proxies. I would try not to voice my opinions to any of them unless they really cross a major line). I would also utilize the large scale construction companies to lower state expenses so that the state can spend the money elsewhere as needed.
5) I would hire friends to play games with several days a week. I love me some tabletop games, but I rarely get to play them Pen and paper RPGs, Classic Battletech, board games, and the like.
6) Fund scholarships, soup kitchens, finance some uninsured medical expense funds (like the type that hospitals have to put together), donate to local schools, establish a few habitat restoration projects, etc.

Unless it is in trouble, I personally would leave it alone. I might set up a wrestling fed of my own if the right people to help run it are available, however. I just think that in North America the workers should still have a number of viable options, and the options today are still limited.

I'd first take care of the smart things for myself and my family - make sure they have everything they need, no debt, etc. Buy myself a house, things like that. And I'd put a nice sized chunk away for safe keeping should anything happen and I no longer had money.
Then I'd buy gifts for my friends.
And then I'd go nuts buying things I couldn't normally, like designer clothes and purses and shoes. Oh the fun I would have going into all these shops and buying things I never dreamed I could. That would be so freaking awesome.
I know, I know, I'm such a chick.
