Marie "Dress budget larger than entire provinces" Antoinette is actually just being scapegoated for decadence!
AKSHUALLY her primary extravagance was her hairdresser, who became the equivalent of a millionaire and bought like... opera houses... with the money he got from her. His primary job was to cover up her balding and thin hair (Which tbf must suck as a queen) with extravagant nonsense.

Fake news. She had an entire village built in her backyard, including a mill, a manor house with a boudoir, a dairy, a barn, a dovecote and an associated pointless marble decorative building in the style of a shrine to aphrodite.

Only insofar as you consider the "Queen’s House" a palace. The place is called "Hameau de la Reine" (The queen's village"). The entire thing is built around a lake with a bunch of purpose built cottages, and is entirely ludicrous.
It also fit within one corner of her backyard
And once again I want to emphasise that it was a fully functioning farm with full time staff to maintain it, with a herd of cows, pigs, various fowl, and a field which supplied fruit to the palace, and it was in one corner of her backyard.
This is why I fight for FALGSC, so we can all know that joy.
Versailles famously smelled like shit all the time. They just let wild exotic animals walk around the outside all the time.
