Coffered ceilings aren’t that expensive so long as you have 10ft ceilings.
If you have standard 8ft ceilings you need to raise the ceiling to meet the 8ft code, which can be very expensive or infeasible(if you dont have an attic above the room.).
The poor version is to put a couple layers of drywall up to create the pattern, it does not look great.
I have seen people who did like 2 layers on top of the original drywall and threw in some quarter round and denture, trashy. One was single layer and it was poorly mudded and separating at the transition with some screw dents, so I am wondering when it is going to fall off. I had some real “retirement project” vibes from the house, so I am guessing grandpa was “handy”.
Pretty sure people with those ceilings don’t have to worry either, because they have plenty of tricks to hide their wealth from taxes. I get what OP means, but they really missed the mark, because it’s pretty much only people with ceilings like the one he posted that actually have to worry: Rich enough to own a suburban home, but not rich enough to indulge in elaborate tax schemes.
The 3rd one looks like tin paneling, which is the middle class cheap imitation of a carved wood panel ceiling. So they would be at risk, depending on their actual income.
Ceiling types who NEED to worry:
That second one is the one I want!
I’m gonna make that shit in Minecraft
So. Many. Stair. Blocks. I salute you and what this will do to your free time.

I’ve done regular drywall ceiling more than once and I can’t imagine how you would make good looking coffered ceiling out of drywall layers 😂
That is the neat part, you can’t.

They all look tacky to me. Expensive, but tacky.
Why would ceiling types be worried and not the owners? Is there any lore reason for that?
They may get repossessed
