Why would you ever need a home that expensive and massive?! I just don’t understand the appeal?! I have a second bedroom I never spend any time in, I couldn’t imagine the amount of space a home like this has that never gets seen.

[tucker]

I know I don’t get it either

Fantasizing about big mansions loses it’s appeal for me because I just think about the upkeep and security you’d need, you would basically need a full staff

But I guess major celebs are already used to that

To play hide-and-seek, of course.

It's not even a good investment idea because these ridiculously expensive houses lose value more often than they gain it and then you're stuck either paying crazy taxes on a house you don't want for years or taking like a 15 million loss

I also feel like so much space is just absurd, but now with 1.5 years of corona that seem it will never end, having so much space to do stuff and not needing to ever go out seems less stupid.

Same. My mind goes straight to:

1) imagine all the cleaning you'll have to do, and (more likely) 2) imagine all the money you'll spend hiring someone to keep these barely-used rooms clean, but also 3) imagine being the cleaner in a house that barely gets used

it's just.....$70? SEVENTY million....it just blows my mind i can't comprehend a house costing that much

It's a lavish over-spend for him, it's too large a chunk of his net worth and he over-paid for the home. Maybe it's a strategic investment, though? If I were him, I would have his over-confidence in being able to sell the home too, because he sold his last house to Madonna...

Yeah that’s another thing! Like you spent 70 mil on this - if you ever plan to get rid of it; who else has that type of money to buy it for that price again?!

[citiesofnight]

Right? Like how could you possibly be sure in a place that huge that you ARE safe unless you have like … a security command center going lol

[ginainabottle]

Short answer: status. It's ridiculous, pathetic and pointless but it's definitely a thing.

I wouldn't want a huge house either for all the obvious reasons but also it'd be a bitch to find my cats and if they decided to sleep outside my field of vision I'd basically go to whatever space they were in, meaning I'd probably end up sleeping on a kitchen counter.

ikr i'd be too nervous that someone is hiding out in one of the bazillion rooms i can't keep track of
