Let's say you had enough money to hire the entire staff at Downton Abbey. If you haven't seen the show just imagine a huge mansion in 1920 England with a ton of servants.
They had a
Butler
Housekeeper
Under Butler
Head Valet
Valet
Senior Lady's Maid
Lady's Maid
About 5 first footmen
About 5 second footmen
A bunch of other lady's maids
A bunch of housekeepers
A groundskeeper
Several gardeners
A chauffeur
An entire kitchen staff big enough to run a restaurant
And probably a few more that I'm forgetting.
I don't care how rich I am, I don't think I could ever be comfortable with that many people living in my house constantly.
I could only see myself hiring 3.
1. A groundskeeper because I hate yardwork
2. A maintenance guy because a big house can be a pain. Something's always breaking.
3. Maybe a security guy or 2 just to keep the crazies away.
