Lets get fancy. Lets say you went with a 10 port hub. That means you only need 22,500 of them.
Took a model off of amazon, like this one.
Item weighs 1.3 pounds. Has a dimension of 5.71 x 2.96 x 1.06 inches.
Right off the bat, we have 30,000 lbs to worry about. Are you going to carry 15 tons worth of stuff?
Each one occupies a space of 17.915696 cubic inches.
That is 403,103 cubic inches. That comes out to roughly 100 beer kegs in volume. Imagine beer kegs stacked end to end, and that doesn't account for the usb cables, power source, etc.
Just saying, the logistics doesn't seem too plausible unless urgently needed for some zombie apocalypse :)
Here is the one I use. Works pretty well for me. Just get some 3M velcro and stick it under your desk.
Just a note, that is very expensive. Idk about integrated solutions like the one mentioned above, and whether it's competitively priced, but you could put together a CD player, USB hub, and SD reader for much less money. And if you stacked them together, maybe taped them together or put them in a 3D printed enclosure, it wouldn't look much worse.

The above costs under $100 (around 1/3 cheaper), plus the individual components have good reviews, and the USB hub is much higher quality.
I bought 2 recently and I can recommend one of them : https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Port-USB3-0-Charging-Indicator/dp/B00NAMKDDY
The other one is not that bad, but it's so light that it doesn't stay put and the shape / ports locations is kind of akward : https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-USB-3-0-Hub/dp/B00GGYU8TC/ref=sr_1_25?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468411112&sr=1-25&keywords=usb+3+hub
I actually considered this but never got around to buying a proper 19V power supply for my dock largely because I didn't know what connector it used (product page doesn't specify). If anyone can provide any insight to what this could use I would appreciate it!

There's actually a number of Amazon Basics USB 3.0 hubs. There's a little 4 port one, a 7 port one, and a 10 port one. I'm assuming the underlying tech is all pretty similar, so it's mostly just a question of how many ports one needs.

Great quality hub with a 60w psu
I have two of them (if you google i have posted a guide how to update the firmware on them as well)
How about this one? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-USB-3-0-Hub/dp/B00GGYU8TC
You could try this one. The 10 port USB 3.0 version should work with tablets. The other variants mention that they are not suitable for charging tablets where as this variant has pictures of it with tablets plugged in.

Just as good running 8 + 1 fan. I always leave room for expansion.
