Why do rich people build boring mansions instead of castles ?

like really rich people... if you look at their houses they all are the same boring style.

if i was a billionaire i would totally build a medival style castle with towers and a moat.
conclusion rich people are boring.

as a third generation contractor/carpenter, it's been my experience that the richer people are, the uglier house they build...

instead of a conventional square/rectangle home that best utilizes space, they build funky shaped monstrosities with multiple corners, offsets, dormers, etc. that take up more space than they actually provide...

easy to pick out the tourist/summer homes around here, they're a blight on the landscape (and depreciate much quicker too...)
