The person who wrote this clearly isn't familiar with rich people. Billionaires and multimillionaires do this stuff. McMansions are for the poor millionaires.
The ultra rich use imported marble for their bathrooms. They fly in the best plaster artist in the country to make a mural in the foyer. The butler's pantry is lined with $100/sqft wallpaper. The desks are made of rare Italian old growth hardwood.
Some of it is gaudy, some of it is tasteful. But it's hard to comprehend just how expensive everything in their houses are. They spend a million or two dollars on AV alone.
Source: I was a pro AV commissioner/programmer for a long time. Fun fact: AV was deemed "essential work" during lockdown. Another fun fact: rich people stopped tipping entirely during lockdown.
I suspect the tipping point here is when you can get around to employing someone to have good taste and imagination, and take a real interest in artisanship on your behalf.
Many years ago I was doing carpentry in a mansion on Kiawah Island, and the owner had brought back these huge clam shells from Greece that he turned into bathroom sinks.
I can tell you exactly how much every single one of those things is worth once their mansions are burned to the ground.
Doesn't matter. Most of their money is in the market anyway. The rest is just the cream.
The stone might be salvageable
Kinda. There are tiers to what boring rich people do.
