I think out of all the "when i get rich" memes a huge house is the most retarded. What's the point of having room after room after room you barely use? What do you put in there, trinkets and shit? And then pay someone to come around and dust them?
One of the biggest houses in my city went up for sale and the auction pictures showed all these grand ballrooms and shit, and then in the small modern kitchen there were 2 la-z-boys in front of a tv. Because who can be fucked walking 10 minutes across their house to grab something from the fridge.
Big houses are a fucking meme, even if you wanted to have lavish parties you could just hire mansions and party in a different place every time.

This.

Toss three kids in, and you "need" a big house, but, it starts looking real nice. 5 bedrooms, Two living rooms, or a game room for the kids, three car garage, in a nice neighborhood so the kids don't get kidnapped or molested, and you can easily get into $1 million dollar mansions.

I'll be honest; Even if I was a rich fuck and could buy a house/land that size there's no way in hell I'd do it.

One; don't need it.
Two; would cost me a fuckton to maintain
Three; would cost me a fuckton to keep clean
Four: The monthly bills would be insane
Five: I'd be broke or wind up spending a vast amount of my money on this "money pit" that I don't need to start with.

The real secret to how old timers are rich has little to do with what they did to earn it. Has to do with how well you spend it/keep it over time. Go to some old fucks home who's got a bit of money. You won't find expensive do dads or any shit that fucker don't really need to get by. Most of older fucks money is tied up in banks/stocks,etc.

Nobody said "want to." OP asked how/why it happens. I agree with the other poster with three kids, that the decision making starts looking different when you have to house 5 people. I don't think a lot of single bachelors are hanging out in McMansionville in the suburbs. Unless maybe they're divorced and want to stay near their kids.

I'm a contractor and I work out a lot of million dollar homes and up.

Lots of them, especially the over 50 crowd, it's just room after room that is dusted, vacuumed and clearly never used. Not many guests coming through.

Capitalism at the top is often sadder than people realize.

Also you gotta think about this displays of wealth draws the underbelly of your neighborhood like moths to a flame. Do you really want some asshole breaking into your house? Or how about the crackhead down the block looking for cash for his next fix. Those people see a nice house like that it's like "free money" to them.

Boomers are looking at it more as an investment, rather than need. They bought their first homes in the 1970's for $50,000, added a few rooms in the 1980's, and sold them in the 1990's for $675,000.

If you have several hundred thousand dollars that you don't need to spend, and you start looking around at your options, and the stock market looks risky, and bonds look like shit, and you don't want to just put it in a savings account, you might decide to spend a little more on your house and park your money there. Up until 10 years ago, housing prices had always gone up; it was only a matter of going up fast or slow. Although, I think this is a terrible idea right now. Real estate markets all over America are overdue for a correction.

I'd buy a house like this only if I'd really REALLY made it.

Like millions of dollars in PASSIVE income monthly.

Because the only reason I'd get such a big mansion is for my private army of armed bodyguards, my staff of maids at my beck and call, lead by my own personal butler, my personal drivers, to drive my fleet of sports cars, and of course my harem of big tit paid sex slaves that I can replace at whim (fuck having children, or being stuck in relationships).

Also I'd have my own private gym room with complete equipment, movie room with a huge screen and la-z-boys, game room with a pool table arcade machines etc, jacuzzi and pool, etc.

The only reason I desire such a lifestyle is because I have a friend whose family is actually rich enough to live like that (they're from a political dynasty, in our 3rd world country where such things still exist). They've had someone in the family "elected" into positions of power for like 30 years straight.

I'm personally retired (I earn barely 5-digits usd monthly in passive income from my online business which I have to work on like a few hours a week) and I live a moderately luxurious lifestyle.

But they COMPLETELY blow me out of the water. Like a massive buffet at the dining room every meal served by several chefs, or someone tries to get them in a fight in public and several goons in black with concealed carries are immediately standing around the aggressor...I mean I really want to get there if I could.

Not gonna dox myself here, but it happened.
Started with a duplex in Tacoma,

Well said. I used to work as a housekeeper for a few of these homes.They only use the kitchen, bedroom, living room, dining room.

I worked in a 14,000 sqft house that the dining room wasn't even used. Most of the job is dusting and cleaning floors/countertops. Pays pretty well just because there's an inherent level of trust to be given access to >6000 sqft custom homes.

I'd purpose build a place to suit my needs and have a separate room for each of the main things I do. Reading books in the library, watching movies in the theatre, and so on. Right now everything is condensed into a family room where we just watch TV and stare at our phones. It will be nice to have separate rooms to focus on separate activities.
