By the end of his voyage home, Odysseus had BY FAR the most cost effective fleet in Greece, saving an undoubtedly grateful Ithaca enormous amounts of money.

I seem to remember Emily Wilson comparing Odysseus to a contemporary entrepreneur in her intro, something I kind of resented at the time, but this makes it ring true. Sadly true.
One ship, many treasures! Also, once Phaeacia was closed off from the outside world, Odysseus could corner the market on autonomous-piloted ships, using the pound of gold from each Phaeacian as seed money to reverse-engineer the ship pilot. Odysseus is a king; can he be a CINO?
