Imagine having so much wealth that you would only live in a space like that for weeks out of the year. A vacation house? With the staff required, huntsmen, gardeners,mechanics, stable grooms, dairy workers, indoor staff while sitting empty for three quarters of the year. Unfathomable.

Mega yachts require large crews (Paul Allen's had former Navy Seals as security) and continuous maintenance, and spend much of the year unused by their owners. And many of the newest luxury New York apartments are unoccupied.

Waddesdon was actually his weekend house, which would have meant 4 days/5 nights every week. For the rich, the weekend was late Thursday night to early Tuesday morning. At certain times of the year, it would have been lived in for 2 or 3 weeks at a time. This still makes it an unimaginable expense, but it was effectively the main home, not a holiday home. His London House in Piccadilly was more of a pied a terre.

I stayed in a castle once while I was in France. I can honestly say that it really isn't that big of a deal. The placed smelled musty, the plumbing was weak and it was drafty. I would rather stay in a modern regular size house. You can only be in one room at a time, so having dozens of extra rooms doesn't really improve the quality of your life - it's just more of the same. Yes it's a major ego rush to point at something like that and say : that's where I live. But once the novelty of that wears off you would probably be happier living in a new home that has: good wifi, modern HVAC, new electrical and modern kitchen and laundry appliances. You also want to be around friends and family. Who wants to be in a fortress far away from everyone else and behind a wall? It's more like a prison or a lunatic asylum.

Great podcast as always. I was struck by the comments on indoor plumbing. As I live in the UK I had always understood that the introduction of indoor plumbing for middle-class and upper class housing was widespread from the 1860's - dependant on which town you were in. Mill towns and rural areas were often an exception. In Dundee the grander tenements were built with full indoor bathrooms during Victorian times. I would be interested in the variations in the introduction of plumbing especially indoor plumbing around the world.

Personally, for so few people to live in such a vast space and 'try' to call it a home and convince others of the same always throws me a little. My view does not come from 'The haves and the have nots'....but more from the practicality of it. (like design over function etc). It's a bit like setting up a dining table, chairs a bed etc in the middle of a 50 acre field/ football arena, and trying to convince everyone that your comfortable ,at home in the space and dont feel exposed or lost within it. If you think about it on a more realistic scale, for example, has recent has the 1970's families of 6/8 lived in a 'two-up, two-down house...fast forward to the present day and these same victorian homes are being extended/renovated because 'they are too small for a couple or family of just 3 people!. So maybe it's down to 'making what you have home' or extreme wealth needing to shout about it (the later being ironic, considering the lengths they go to, to secure and protect their privacy...and yet shouting "Look at me, I'm here!".
