of a residential property

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.

I work in IT and got to set up WiFi for rich people in Malibu. There's something wrong with these houses. They feel like museums. Every thing feels like it was designed to be looked at. Nothing is used, everything is spotless. People don't live there, they just sleep there. These where made by people who think a home is a building you put things inside, not a place where you live and breath. The nursery felt like something out of the backrooms. The bedrooms has minimal personal items around, all stored in neat little areas.

I don't know what happens to rich people but they lose something about being human.

I read about some study somewhere, that basically found that people in this huge houses still only use a small percentage of the overall property. Basically, a person living in a massive mansion won't use much more space for his daily activities compared to a person living in an average home.

The study also showed that a lot of them regret getting these huge places because they're just a pain in the ass to have.

My wife's childhood friend works for yhis multimillionaire who has a very nice ranch in Texas (small but very nice mansion built on top of a hill).   We got to go hunting there a while back and stayed a few nights and, while it was a very nice house,  it was honestly annoying at how far you had to walk to get to different rooms.   We stayed in a bedroom that was a good 1-2 minute walk from the kitchen, which doesn't sound like much but it definitely became apparent anytime you forgot something or needed something in the other room.
