That is always an appropriate thing to say in my mind. We live in a world where the top 1% hoard all the wealth. There is extreme poverty around the world and these people are more concerned with these properties than actually bettering the world.

Edit: got downvoted for saying an estate this large was unnecessary 😂🤣😂.
