Who said these mansions are empty? Common folks live with their spouse and children. Rich and powerful have a lot more people in their house: security, assistants, maids, cooks, not to mention other rich and powerful people visiting, bringing their own staff with them.

Many Palaces are toured almost empty, for example Sanssouci and Neues Palais. So if you toured them, you may forget that they were previously furnished.
There are at least 4 separate buildings for those on the property: https://palace.navalny.com/dom-media/uploads/2021/01/11/pala...
I would feel a constant sense of terror while having sleepovers at Putin’s place...
That's why you bring your own security guards with you ;-)
That's quite futile. Unless you're Obama and can bargain for the right to bring a regiment of guards allowed to brandish shotguns your guard stand no chance of resisting Putin's men.
Even then Obama's safety was guaranteed by Biden's ability to launch nukes, not Secret Service.
If they killed Obama would we really destroy the whole world?
And don't drink the tea!
