Let's assume I'm worth a few billion. Would I want this house? It's amazing, very high quality, well designed. Like the nod to the Moorish styles and 1920s Los Angeles. To have this house you'd be participating in a specific kind of lifestyle with both plenty of entertainment and a large staff on hand. But in doing so the lifestyle consumes you, rather than the other way around, living a life as in a theatre set. It becomes an accessory you wear, and probably ultimately becomes demanding and wearisome. The mock kitchen is a perfect example, it's a room thrown in by the architects because you're supposed to have a kitchen, but you don't cook and the food is served to you by your staff from the basement industrial kitchen, so it's a play acting room that is probably rarely ever used and all those cabinets are likely empty.
It'd be tempting to try out this lifestyle for a few weeks but suspect I'd come to miss the coziness of a smaller and more personal space where every piece of it is directly controlled by me and I'm not acting out a lifestyle for other people's benefit. The billionaire in me (har har) would infinitely prefer multiple smaller and discreet properties in the right location, each personalized to me and how I enjoy living my life.
I'd keep the cook, however.
