Is there any way to make a pair of lenses that can be used to stare directly at the sun without any damage occurring to yourself or the lenses? Money is not an issue.

Do you mean something like a special pair of sunglasses? or something like a pair of binoculars?
What are you trying to achieve?

Something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ ... cular.html but without magnification. How would this look?

Also how would I be able to use binoculars like the one linked to look for stuff during sunset?

Just use a set of eclipse glasses?

Yes, the binoculars you linked are suitable for looking at the sun at sunset.
