Here's the best explanation that I've found.

The singer Madonna owns several mansions in London. She doesn't live in them. She lives in Los Angeles. The London mansions are kept empty, just as a way of storing value, with staff coming around every so often to check on them and clean them.

Her mansions in London are private property: she wouldn't be unhoused if someone squatted them or they got confiscated.

Her mansion in Los Angeles is personal property: if she lost it, she'd have to live in a hotel or couch-surf, and that would substantially affect her quality of life.

The two are clearly different, as we can see; but they're often conflated by people who (in Tolkien's phrase) have "the rage of the rich who suffer the loss of some trifle they had until then ignored."
