You and me would both take land and privacy over the 10 million dollar homes you're referencing, but let's not kid ourselves, there are reasons to buy them. If you come up in the world by nepotism you probably want to live near your cohorts, which is exactly what they are paying the big bucks for. Hence areas like Manhattan, Kalorama D.C. , or Beverly Hills will always be in demand because corruption always needs a home. And frankly, those houses rarely "cost" the corrupt any money, they generally profit a few million from appreciation by the time all is said and done.
