1: Location saves time to do the stuff you want to be doing.

2: Space for activities, such as being able to host large parties, friends, family, etc..

3: Convenience and time saving from having a lot of things in-house: gym, pool, tennis courts, etc.

4: Security. When everyone knows who you are, they begin to make up excuses to get close to you and yours. Even if you don't want seclusion, you may be forced into it.

5: The people who you hang out with most have big mansions too - you want them to be just as comfortable visiting you as when you are when you visit them.
