Do rich people get to enjoy the entire mansion?

I just read an article about celebrities with large homes and wondered: out of all the work the do, do wealthy people have time to use all the things they have bought? I don't even use the grill, not even the garden chairs. What could you really do with 18 extra rooms in the house?

When you have guests, you can lead them through your house and show off!
Near the town where I live in the south of Germany is a baroque castle with 452 (!) rooms. Even a King, his extended family, and staff couldn't fill them all.

I have never been envious of anyone who lives in a masnion or palace or similar dwellings.
My place is small and if anyone comes visiting there are some really nice bed and breakfasts where I will book for them to stay and we can be together during the daytime visiting much more itersting places than huge homes.

@mysdianait And its not written in stone that people with big houses have less problems than us.

Yes I agree. Much better to have a small place and use it all than a big place 
In all my life I have never wanted to have a big home or a big garden that takes a lot of time to keep it nice.

@TebzaK That seems totally pointless to me. Why have them if you have little time to enjoy them?

When dreaming of living in/owning such a property, I have thought about whether all the rooms would be used, and how many would really be necessary. I suppose a bedroom for each of the people living there. Perhaps one each for our adult children, and another for our grandchildren. Then a playroom, of course, for the grandchildren, little niece and little nephew. Also, a games room. Well, there'd have to be at least 3 games rooms - one for tabletop games, one for 'pub' games, and one for computers. Then a TV room, a study or two, and a quiet room. Of course, there would have to be a kitchen - just one of them will do. So that's about 15 rooms, not including bathrooms and shower rooms, all of which would be used! I do wonder, though, if people with large houses actually do make full use of them. I spent a morning helping out a cleaner who cleaned people's homes. They were lovely homes, but they did look as though the owners were rarely there, or only enjoyed one or two rooms when they were.

@TebzaK I'd probably find uses for other rooms such as an art room and a workshop. Any remaining rooms, I would probably rent them out either as living accommodation or businesses/offices. Or I might have part of the home open for public view.

Give me a couple of million bucks to buy one and I'll let you know.

I wouldn't mind having a mansion (though I didn't know it completely 
).
).
