9 photos that show how much the 1% love their useless reflecting pools and waterfalls

A pool used to be a status symbol; something that told your peers and neighbors that you'd made it.

But no longer - now you need to install gigantic waterfalls and useless reflecting pools to send that same message. These types of water features are increasingly prevalent in real estate listings that crest the $10 million mark, because, in that price range, a Jacuzzi isn't even worth mentioning (since just about all mansions at that level have Jacuzzis).

With the help of Zillow, the largest real estate network on the web, we've found some of the most enormous and extravagant water features in homes across the US.
