103 rooms, five swimming pools and a garage for eight limos. Question: if money was no object - would you want a house this big?

I saw this house on the TV this morning and even though its very nice I honestly think I would rather have something smaller and not so grand (honest) if money was no object.
I think you could still have a beautiful home with taste than something like this that to me just looks so OTT and it looks like you are trying to prove to anyone who is bothered that you are seriously rich and need to shout it from every room. Why does anyone need a solid gold floor and 5 swimming pools ???
I would have a beautiful, tasteful home but certainally not something like this, I would rather privately give money away to worthwhile causes or people than to live like this.
Rather have a cosy cottage. I too saw it on TV this morning and it is just like a hotel. Even has a bar when you come in the front door. I would imagine it might be sold as an extremely upmarket hotel, subject, I suppose, to planning permission.
However, it would be nice to live their for a weekend, along with 200 or so staff to cook, clean and pamper, etc.
I can't really imagine living beyond a short walk from all the necessary local amenities so country mansions aren't my cup of tea at all regardless of how insanely rich I am.
