Why would anyone, no matter how rich, want a 25,000-square-foot house?

I can’t imagine the size of the army needed to clean that place. LA is a dusty town. There’s very little rain so the dust and dirt accumulates, then the Santa Ana winds come through and kick it up so it settles on everything. I’ve got to dust every 3 days, otherwise there is a noticeable layer on everything. Let it go for 10 days and everything will have a thick layer of dust on it. I collected folk art for awhile, but quit. Too much of a pain trying to keep it clean.
I would need a golf cart just to get around the kitchen lolol 
A fan paid $3.2 million and is now applying for historical status. The house was only used for exteriors. Interiors were filmed on sets at the studio. It was remodeled a few years so the house would more closely match the sets.

Even if I were a huge Brady Bunch fan (which I haven’t been since I was 13 and thought Jan was pretty hot), I don’t think I’d be willing to pay a premium for a house that only represented the exterior of the Brady Bunch home and whose interior had been remodeled to resemble the studio set.
This is pretty huge news: the Stahl House is for sale. If you’re not familiar with the house, it’s a significant home in the history of modern architecture (still, I think they were smoking something when they came up with the listing price). It has been featured in videos and movies and as a photo shoot location.
Here’s an iconic picture of the house taken by Julius Shulman.
