Ever wondered why mansions have SO MANY more bathrooms than bedrooms? Do wealthy people use bathrooms more than the rest of us, or is there actually a reason behind this? Here’s why. Add me on Instagram: GPStephan

The first reason why these homes have so many bathrooms is for future re-sale value. If a large home has a study, office, or other large room with a bathroom in it - it becomes MUCH easier for a future buyer to potentially use that room as a bedroom in the future. It also becomes that much easier to turn that re-purposed bedroom back into its original use if you no longer needed it as a bedroom.
You’ll also find that, in larger homes, the largest bedrooms have separate, dual bathrooms - for example, the master bedroom might have two bathrooms. Then, add to the fact that many of these 20,000 square foot homes have several master suites throughout the home - and each of those suites have 2 additional bathrooms…the bathroom count starts adding up very quickly.
But beyond that, the bathroom count of a mansion really has more to do with the size of the property - not with the number of bedrooms it has. In large homes, typically over 10,000 square feet, if you need to use the bathroom, it should be located in a convenient to reach location. So for this reason, bathrooms tend to be placed strategically around the home to accommodate whenever the moment strikes.
And when it comes to bathroom placement, bathrooms are typically built in the areas where you’re likely to spend the most amount of time - such as nearby the living room, nearby the kitchen, nearby the pool, or nearby any bonus or media rooms. That way a bathroom is always within a short distance when you need it the most.
In addition to that, you’ll typically have all other rooms containing their own bathroom - such as a gym, basketball court, cabana, media room, or whatever else you can think of. And in most fine estates, pools almost always have their own dedicated bathrooms.
And the bathrooms don’t stop there - most large estates employ staff. They have gardeners, house managers, house cleaners, and pool keepers…and, you guessed it, those people all need bathrooms. So to accommodate this, homes of a large magnitude will typically have a separate staff quarters with their own bathrooms, as well.
And finally, owners of large homes typically host lots of events - and when you host events, you don’t want the guests to have to walk into a bedroom or media room to use a bathroom, and you also don’t want them waiting in line for the only bathroom on the main entertaining level. So in order to prevent this ahead of time, several bathrooms are typically placed throughout the main levels which are used for entertaining.
And that’s why mansion have so many bedrooms, it’s done this way for convenience, future resale value, and added privacy for both the guests and residents.

Here I am from tiktok to google to YouTube. Thanks for the clarification
Very informative, but next time put your hands in your pocket.
Makes sense to me! I wish I had an abundance of bathrooms!
You covered all the reasons! A bath near the door if someone stopping by asks to use the restroom, bathrooms off living rooms, libraries, rec rooms, gyms, saunas, pools, home theaters, etc, his and hers bathrooms for master suites, and staff quarters, both in their bedrooms and near where they work. Adds up. Not a new thing except for some of the rooms now in nicer homes. Smart to have plumbing available for any use of the square footage.
Thank you! Logical explanation
I've wondered and now my curiosity is satisfied!!!
I don't buy his reasons. Resale value? Easier to modify the space? Don't sound right. How about it's because the house is SO large, it's too far to walk to a bathroom across the house. It's convenience.
But why do they need that many full bathrooms? Not just toilets.
I need just one!
I need to study this video
For when I'll be successful 😂
Bathrooms have the reputation of adding value
Still kinda dumb though.
Its still stupid
Take a shot of liquor when he says bathroom
Because it's so big I need a Tesla so I can drive in my hallways to get to the bathroom and not fill the place with carbon monoxide lol
It's originally rooted in racism. Racism was why there were more bathrooms because they didn't want POC slaves using their bathrooms so the POC had their own bathrooms. Mostly just half bathrooms.
I always figured if the place is so big you don't want to have to go to far if you really have to go, so you don't poop your pants
My ears hurt from the word bathroom
Are all of them actually full BATHrooms, or many just toilets/ powder room/WC/1/2baths?
I hate term 1/2 bath….. just like hate calling public restrooms Bathrooms.
Not going to take a bath at the restaurant or movie theater. I like Water Closet but it's more British and no one in US used that term.
Normal House: 4 Bed, 4 & 1/2 Baths
Mansions: 6 Bed, 3452346234623462462436 Baths
It’s now 4 am and yes I googled that same question. Thank you for the details.
Bathrooms in general call to ME, they’re by far my FAVOURiTE room in where ever n whatever a person resides in.
Plus number of bathrooms in a living quarters I AM OBSESSED with!
BTW-
Lol, I thought you were funny. I didn’T actually laugh out loud ……, But I had a permanent grin that lasted well past the the end of your video……. like 20 minutes. 😊
just sayn……… 😳…..
this is probably so you dont crap yourself trying to find a bathroom on the otherside of the house. haha
I smashed the like button before Graham asked me to
There is a house near with 19 bathrooms and 9 bedrooms (Michael Jordan´s house). Rest are 8 and 8 or 5 and 10 etc…
yes… but also coke..
Can’t believe no one has commented on the toilet with the automated cover. They really opened up the lid of creativity here
Welcome to our Ool. Notice there is no "P" in it… please keep it that way. There are his and her bathrooms conveniently located nearby, right over there —->
Haha my comment was the first one! Thanks for showing love to a long time follower Graham <3
a bel air house has 31 bathrooms..
All these bathrooms are just so your guests can snort their coke in private, just like at the club
i didnt get the joke :/
Had to give you credit for trying with those jokes at the end. 👌😂
Perhaps one day they will just go full blown open concept. No walls. Just slap a toilet and shower next to the island in the kitchen. Except there really is no kitchen per se since it's all just ONE BIG ASS room.
