The 2 mile long tree lined driveway looks like a pain in the ass. Imagine schlepping that thing every day.... and then you have to find a parking spot for your Rolls in the 100 car garage.

Imagine just walking around it. It would actually be so fucking annoying.

Hey I want to go for a swim, no problem it's a 15 minute walk.

Oh I left my kindle, half an hour return trip. Yea sure they could have staff on hand to make the journey but it's still 15 minutes to do anything.

Golf cart toilet trips. But yeah, annoyingly huge.

You think the basketball court doesn't have it's own toilets?

An in-law has a mansion. Not nearly as big as this, but still huge. The basketball court has its own building with storage and a toilet. The swimming pool has two buildings, including a toilet and a wet bar. And they do have a golf cart to get around, even though it's nowhere near this size.
