So how many days (hours/minutes, maybe seconds?) after Gargamel's wife lands will she stop apologizing to others for his behaviour and start yelling at him for his behaviour?

Don't put a lot weight on having a maid. It is a lot cheaper there than here. A friend used to share a house with 3 roommates and they hired a live-in maid to cook and clean for them. So having a maid would not make one "rich". That said, the swanky house may be more normal than you think and not up to Gort's standards. I mean, if you're gonna take pics in the shower you want some primo plumbing!
