    $\begingroup$ Owning multiple planets? Owning a solar system? Owning a galaxy at the really high end of the spectrum? The deal with money is being richer usually means having more stuff. I'm also curious as to what government is in place to allow these kinds of things to happen without massive galaxy-wide wars. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 20, 2020 at 18:00

    $\begingroup$ How uniform is the quality of terraforming work? Some people may be living on designer-created paradise worlds, while others would have to suffer barely livable ones. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 20, 2020 at 18:21

    $\begingroup$ It's a neat idea, but unless you change human nature, you'd need very fast ftl travel. People like to see other people, they go to work, they shop, they socialize. How can they do this in your setup? $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 21, 2020 at 8:43

    $\begingroup$ "Other than that, the planet is left alone" is some utopian thinking. What's stopping others from invading you? How the heck do you know you don't have squatters on the other side of your planet? Why would you want to display wealth? Do you want invaders, because displaying wealth is a surefire way to get invaders. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 22, 2020 at 14:27
