That's the point. Put in solar panels (ignore the green 'cost' to fabricate) etc. but to air condition and electrically power that many sq ft is lots more than any several 'non-green' families' homes. And then it's not their only home by far.
I don't begrudge them the home, although I read somewhere Tom grousing that he bought high and was taking a bath on the place. Were it I, yes I'd live smaller but then I would fly the carbon spewing private jets which are much worse (green wise) than the home. I just don't want to be lectured by those who, as they are thankfully free to do, live large.
Disclosure: OK, I own several homes but I drive a Fusion hybrid FWIW
