Do most lose money when they build a mansion?

Found a ton of these mostly on the eastern side of the US where they are well over 10k sq ft and so many seem to sell for about $100 per sq ft. Does the price per sq ft go down significantly when building large or do these guys just sell at a loss just to get out of the property?
That house...is a lot. It's huge and clearly very luxurious but there is something off about it. Beautiful wooden floors though.

NO/price for building big tends to go the other way/big up;
even though a builder[ or commercial contractor] may get a price discount on materials with volume. Big apartments may get a better buy, but that's per apartment + varies anyway\location.
Big land may get a better buy per acre, depending on location..........................

Taxes?? Varies greatly even when the appraiser gets it right. I get greenbelt lower taxes on mine \but that's for farm with profit plan.
