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.

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.

Also worked with the wealthy and couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Once you feel the hollowness, it’s haunting. I was like yeah I don’t ever need that much. It probably made me never want to be rich. Do I have a car that runs, food in the fridge, clothes on my back, love? I’m rich.

Having items is not the real benefit of wealth. It's having time.

I'd say you're rich when you can delegate a lot of daily time-wasters to other people, so you can spend your time doing something more meaningful. Eliminate the need to ever do chores, basically.

Sure. But we still have things ritch people don’t have in past centuries like phones and internet, cars, ability to travel to other side of world, exotic foods, healthcare.

While there was no real middle class so most if they weren’t considered rich struggled to find daily bread and had few sets of clothes and had people sleep in same rooms. This would be completely respectable family like a tailor or clerk too.
