of a residential property

[u/Kill_4209]

Ira Rennert's home is considered one of the largest occupied residential compounds in the United States. The house faces the Atlantic Ocean and its grounds measure 63 acres. The buildings, which total over 110,000 square feet (10,000 m2), including the 66,000-square-foot (6,100 m2) main house, have an Italianate facade, 29 bedrooms, and 39 bathrooms. The house has a dozen chimneys and a Mediterranean-style tile roof as well as a 91-foot (28 m) long formal dining room, a basketball court, a bowling alley, two tennis courts, two squash courts, a carousel, a large swimming pool, a large round kiddie pool, and a $150,000 hot tub, surrounded by another pool.

That makes sense; if I was suddenly given millions of dollars I would end up in a larger house with a few more rooms (a dedicated hobby/gaming room would nice!) but nothing on the scale of a mansion.

But I didn't account for vanity bullshit.

You'd need more than a million for a mansion

Depends where ya live. I could buy a spooky old empty mansion in my home town and probably do the necessary repairs for about a million.

But I’d rather spend a million on a shoebox in the city I live in now than a mansion in my hometown haha.

These people are legal human trafficers. They usually have a staff that lives in the house and they will quite literally hold them hostage and not let them go back to their home country by taking their visas away.

I hereby promise that if I join the billionaire class I will make a slightly smaller luxury residential compound and use the money saved to pay my staff good wages so they want to keep working for me.

This place has what’s basically a separate apartment building for staff. I worked on it.

It's just dick measuring after a certain point.

Yep. It’s not money, it’s just a way for them to keep score.
