I get that if you have a ton of money you buy big houses and shit because you can, but how often does all the extra space get used other than burning energy and the cleaning lady out? Seems pointless.

Yeah, well sort of.
I live in a neighbourhood that has exploded lately with all these huge houses being built and I don't get the opulence. They take these beautiful lots of land and plonk these MASSIVE houses on them ... but that's it. I'd shave the house down from 4500 to 5000 sq feet to maybe 2700 but I'd build functionality and lifestyle.
So big garage, huge mud room, big sun drenched back room, well landscaped outdoors area with nice BBQ with a sink and power, pool etc ... not just a flash house the size of a small asian island.
