Agree! But what I don't understand is the 8 bedroom, 14 bathroom type of houses (rich people). I mean what's the point. I agree that you need at least two bathrooms in a home and max one bathroom for each bedroom...but after that, what's the point? Need in the sense that, it improves the quality of life, and it's a worthy expense.

Those houses are designed for entertaining and large parties. Any event hall that you go to will have at minimum 1 bathroom for each gender with multiple stalls, 2-6. This is still a home, so they choose not to have stalls in bathroom setting, hence 6-10 "extra" bathrooms. Additionally in the very large houses the bed/bath ration doesn't capture the setting of the bathrooms. There is a house not to far from me that has a connected indoor pool and that has 3 bathrooms for changing/shower. (edited)

  makes sense. Why not have them, when you can afford them? So your own bathrooms are not used by the guests...

With a house like that, you're probably doing a fair bit of entertaining. You're going to be glad you have those extra bathrooms when you have 60 party guests.

Guest bathroom and when you have large parties often.

Proximity matters. If I have a basketball court in my house, I'm going to want to have a little locker-room/bathroom off of it so that I (and my guests) don't have to trek to the bathroom in the main hall. If I have a 10-car climate-controlled garage with lounge where I hang out and show off my Ferrari collection, same thing. If I have an amazing pool that all of my kids' friends want to use, I'm going to want them to use the bathroom with the outdoor entrance so they aren't tracking water in the house. These aren't small houses.

  I think that's it. I have a very wealthy relative who lives in the USA, and I visited when my younger brother was just 6 years old. It took him several complete tries of running round the house to count all the bathrooms (and not lose count). There was one per bedroom, then one on the ground floor, one by the garage and one which was easy to get to from the beach. The neighbour's house's guest room's bathroom was also the general bathroom; it had two doors with appropriate locks. This seemed like an efficient design.

    Bathrooms with two doors are annoying. Typically, the door to the bedroom gets locked and not unlocked, so you have to go around to the hall door anyway. Also, unless the bathroom is large, the doors typically clash.
