Reality suggests that most home buyers aren&#8217;t ready to purchase these types of homes, but if you were how much &#8220;home&#8221; would you want?</p>
<p>As much as I like space, I think I&#8217;d get lost in something like the Spelling mansion, affectionately known as <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4310137n%3Fsource=search_video" target="_blank">The Manor</a>.  At 56,000 square feet of space and listed at $150 million, it boasts 123 rooms including 14 bedrooms, 27 bathrooms, 4 2-car garages and 16 car ports, and that&#8217;s just for starters, I feel as though my wife and I could start at opposite sides of the house and not find each other for months.  We could meet in the media room to watch a few movies together after making our way through the barber shop, beauty salon, gym, restaurant sized kitchen, waterfalls, gardens and the like if we planned our schedules accordingly.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/house-of-the-day-a-california-villa-gets-marked-down-by-70-million-2010-9#" target="_blank">Hearst Mansion</a>, which was once listed for $165 million and now is down to $95 million, actually had 4 other houses sitting on the property along with 3 swimming pools, its own state of the art movie theater, it&#8217;s own disco club, and was used as the house that they filmed the original Godfather movie at.</p>
<p>Of course, in California you can always go &#8220;cheaper&#8221; and still live ostentatiously, such as living in a home known as the MJ Ranch where, at $25 million, you can actually get 250 acres of land, 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, 8 fireplaces, 2 spas and a sauna.  </p>
<p>Is that enough &#8220;home&#8221; for you?</p>
