Sensory overload!
Pool Table in a 128 Million Dollar Mega Mansion

Real conversation I overhead....
Guy: "What's that table without any pockets."
Buddy: "That's just a practice table for when you're waiting."
Hoppe: [spinning sound]
Hearst Castle?? That place is awesome. Love to go thru it.

Is this the billiard room at Hearst Castle?
yep. i found a bunch of HC pics.
As for the table itself, the first time my hip hits one of those corners ....
The house -- lots of pictures in AtLarge's link above -- doesn't look like someplace I'd want to live. Not designed for humans. (I think I'd enjoy Hearst's place, even though it is a fixer-upper.)
It was on the market for $500,000,000 then reduced to $295,000.000. Now it is going up for auction "with no reserve" but the bank or whoever got stuck with it can reject a bid that is too low. They need to find a buyer with a lot more dollars than sense.
When you get old and the kids move away, maintaining your present house will be a burden. I imagine the OP house is less than $2M/year to maintain so you would save a lot there, but let an intermediate buyer take care of all the "new house issues".Why would I want to downsize!

Add a bumper pool table to complete the set.
I’m an empty nester the last few years. Five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, family room, living room, great room and rec room 5250 finished sq ft. Lonely place now sometimes I sleep on different levels for a change of scenery. I really need to downsize
My cousin's father and uncle owned one of the largest lumber yards in town. She built a 6000SF starter home then realized she had gotten a little carried away. Not as much so as another cousin though. She was busy with the business and other things so she just bought one block of new townhouses backed up to her land.
Had to tease her, she had sixteen bedrooms, eight baths, four kitchens. I liked it, dirty dishes, just walk into the next townhouse! Eight children or so, she might have had the right idea. She recently died, a nonsmoker so she got a tumor in her head the size of a softball. RIP Leanne!

FYI, the above link was two years old. The auction came and went and it sold for $141MM:
America's biggest new mansion auctions for $141 million
A 105,000-square-foot Los Angeles megamansion known as “The One” sold at a bankruptcy auction for $141 million

Also, sounds like a bit of a fixer-upper itself.
