You can build a noble's estate with just a sword and attitude!
How much does a noble's estate cost to build?
No, the richest people are the people who bankroll wizards, just like in the real world.
The PHB gives the cost of casting a 1st or 2nd level spell at 10 to 50 gp. The cost a 3rd or 4th level wizard commands could very well be 50 gp. A wizard twice that level and even more rare is likely to command an even higher rate.It could easily multiply the cost by infinity. Doubling it is effectively paying the guy 5 aristocratic lifestyles for 10 minutes of work a day, which seems silly to do.
Suppose the material cost was zero, but it still took a wizard a year to create a permanent circle. How would it change the world?
18K is a lot from the standpoint of an individual, but it's probably not that much by the standards of a functioning government. Rather like $1 million in real life, and in fact "1 gold = $50 to $100" is generally a pretty good conversion rate judging by listed prices.

Wow, that's kind of ridiculous. I wish that wasn't in the book. I was hoping to avoid the weird economy issues in this edition, since they'd removed prices on magical items.As per the rules in the DMG building a noble's estate costs 25,000 gold and 150 days
A Palace or Large castle costs 500,000 gold, it also takes approximately 4 years (book lists 1200 days)
