McMansion Hell versus the dubious monster homes of Waukesha County, Wisconsin

I’d probably put it near the McMansion/Actual Mansion crossover point. It’s certainly garish and overwrought enough to be a McMansion, but it also makes extensive use of actual “the good stuff”—things like marble and crystal and exotic woods—as opposed to the architectural foam and other knock-offs that most McMansions utilize. The renovation material costs cited in the Wiki article alone would be enough to buy a handful of typical McMansions.
