The answer

Allah has prepared Paradise for His righteous servants, and it is vast and magnificent. He will honor them with His grace and mercy by granting them a great dominion, as stated in His Almighty قول: (And when you look there [in Paradise], you will see delight and great dominion). The person with the lowest rank in Paradise will have dominion equivalent to the world and ten times its like, which is what our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, smiled about.

There is no firm evidence in the Sunnah that deeds increase the area of one's dominion in Paradise. However, the space of a whip or a bow's length in Paradise is better than the world and everything in it. It has also been established that the believer will have a tent in Paradise made of a hollow pearl, sixty miles long, and he will go around among his wives within it.
