Do You Really Need That Many Computer Monitors?

First, let me start off by saying, I am talking about personal computer mointors at your home. Yes, I understand you might work in a carrer that you need to see so many things at once (stock broker, patient vitals, etc.), but I am talking about home/personal use.
I talk to my friends and some of them have 4-5+ computer mointors. I ask them why and of course they say they want to review multiple screens at the same time. Yes, I do see that it could be helpful in some extreme cases, but I find it funny that these people feel like they can't live without so many monitors.
Yes, this is not harming me if they have so many, but it seems like it is over the top. I like 2 mointors, because I can easily compare things.
Do you have a lot of monitors and I am just curious, what do you use them for most of the time?

I am posting this on my personal computer with my 1 monitor. With that said, I could see getting a second monitor for home, but to me at least having so many monitors it is distracting.

@mypointsju I think that too many monitors would drive me nuts.

I work from home. In my "home office," I use dual monitors. I need it for reviewing documents.

2 Monitors, I can understand, especially when it is a home office. At work I have my laptop monitor and another mointor, but I just can't see the use of anymore than that, especially if it is not a home office.

I had two monitors but now I use my laptop solely so don't use my computer anymore. But when I had two monitors it was very helpful and useful especially when I did homework!

I have only one desktop monitor and one Samsung tablet. Enough for me.

Maybe my friends are just the extreme. Even at work I only use my desktop monitor and my laptop monitor, but I do see some jobs that it would be useful for.
