Dear Yousef,
Entering into a marriage is a binding contract and a large commitment upon which the nuclear structure of Islamic society is built. Marriage and divorce are not a game, and Almighty Allah gave the most details in the Qur'an about how solemn this contract is, especially the role of men in protecting and maintaining their wives.
First there are conditions to having multiple wives. First you need to provide justice, and that includes treating them similarly without favouring one over the other, providing for them equally in spending money and shelter, as well as time and marital relations. Already you say you think of only living with one and having children with her and not the others, and that is not permissible.
Second there is spending ability. People who marry several wives must be able to provide for all of them equally and sufficiently. You may not marry more than one if you can hardly spend on one. If you live with one in the west and three more are back home, whatever you spend on the first you have to spend on the other three. Not doing so violates the first condition and also is deceiptful to do so based on that they will not know what you are spending in the West on the first wife.
Those are conditions without which marriage to multiple women is not permissible. However, they are not solely sufficient to allow it:
For example, it is not permissible to marry a woman while planning actively not to procreate with her. She has inalienable rights to have a family and children and you have no right to prevent that. Also, you are not allowed to marry and then abandon them physically, for marriage to several women has been specifically allowed in order to aid with inproportionate numbers of women to men, that all women can have chastity and have a husband to which they share compassionate love and intimacy and physical oneness.
Additionally, if you live in a country that disallows polygamy, you are not allowed to break those laws and keep things in secret.
As for not informing the wives about each other, yes it is indeed not a prerequisite to not seek permission or inform the wives that you will marry someone else, but it is Islamically not permissible and not allowed to be deceiptful and marry a woman without telling her you are already married and that you are planning already to marry more. It is her right and the right of her guardian to perhaps have conditions that they are notified and just as God has given you the right to marry and they don't have the right to prevent you, she has the inalienable right to have her emotions and trust trampled on.
Finally and most importantly, as mentioned in the beginning Yousef, marriage is a sacred commitment between two people, and taking God's allowances and gaming them like that for rediculous reasons is HIGHLY sinful. It is NOT permissible to marry four women out of challenge or to give yourself fame.
So to answer your question, yes this is a very wrong mindset.
And God knows best
