Concierge Auctions, which handled the sale, told the Los Angeles times that more than three dozen prospective buyers toured five-acre property in the last couple of months, including billionaires from across the US, Middle East and Asia.

They will probably demolish it and build their own. Owners of this level of wealth buy homes for the view only.
Air B&B.. ;D
I saw a house similar in scope and cost on a recent YouTube “tour” video. People posted comments saying the tax on that property was $1.5 million - per month!
Looks like it’s built on a leach field berm.

Hells bells, you could turn that into a concierge hotel and conference center. It looks more like a hotel than home anyway.

Somebody could do something with the one on Lake Superior. But there’s a scene where the water seems to come almost into the house...

I’ve been watching some videos about abandoned mansions, mostly in Europe, and the main common thread is that the place was built in another time where a very rich landowner could afford such a place and all the servants to go with it. Few can afford now and they require too much repair and would cost an arm & leg to heat & power. So they sit there - these architecturally astonishing and historic buildings. It’s a shame...but they’re part of a different time.
You can build these insane places but seriously, how many would ever need or want such a place? Not many.
Nile Niami is still living the life of luxury, as we unwashed masses would deem his life style.
