On the face of it, it looks like you have twice the liquid net worth than you actually have (or more with multiple countries). Often financial statements will be prepared by different accounting firms in different countries, and each set says you had the same amount of money on hand on the same date, even though you only had one. It is not so much a delusion of wealth as a delusion of time. When people refer to a date (such as a fiscal year end), they think that date is the same everywhere but of course midnight on December 31st happens in every one of the 24+ time zones.
