It's really hard to imagine "scale my net worth up to billions" and work out what that practically means - even just your random billionaire can hire people to do things we wouldn't even think of considering, like having multiple houses around the country/world that are identical, and you have staff at each that makes sure they remain identical - if you left the New York Times on your desk in Milan, it will be on your desk in New York when you walk in the room.

Power cuts both ways. Move one or two random items to a location they’ve placed them before but haven’t in awhile, call coworker in Milan with list of things to update, note down reactions and make slight adjustments to tactics until they snap and buy a social media network for $40bn. Never mess with the help.

Your example sounds infuriating. First, I want items where they are supposed to be, not where I left them. But who wants the same thing all the time? If I go out to a large meal and every course tastes the same because it's all covered in the same sauce, it doesn't matter if it is my favorite sauce. I want to have variety. Similarly, when I travel, different spaces please. On the other hand, I would like to arrive at a hotel and be handed a key as I walked in and had the closets already populated with my clothes.

Wait, are you just suggesting this as a hypothetical, or is this a real thing people do?

It’s rsync in real life!

This would be so much fun. I imagine being rich and without meaning or a direction. I'd spend my time messing up my housing, secretly taking photo's of it. then flying around for a few hours in a jet to my identical house and yelling at the staff for not having it match the photos.
