Women as displays of wealth in it of themselves, love it.
These women spend their lives pampered only concerned about pleasuring master, keeping her body(and pregnancy) healthy or the odd social event where she just needs to look pretty.
Sounds like the perfect life for women and there's other ways of showing off women.
Having them trained in arts or music, skills that don't translate into being a productive slave.

For the more Sci-fi settings with tech to clone women or create "Gynoids" cultural preferences is a big part of it.
Just feels better to enslave "natural flesh n blood" women that aren't complete unthinking flesh robots.
It's the fun of owning a person if that makes any sense.
