The reason why spain became incredibly wealthy is because of the gold that they found with the andes, as well as the farming provided by the rest of the spanish main. Extragalactic colonies aren't the new world. They are made up of exactly the same materials as the rest of their supercluster, you can find just the same materials in your home galaxy. If you have 20 systems, you should focus on not wasting massive amounts of energy fuelling trips to other galaxies, rather finding valuable planets inside of your galaxy.

Can you please explain how having 20 home systems is realistic? I've made my point about the realism of galactic empires like you've asked, but that's the only thing you've proposed that would make your idea valid.
