      As it acts as Account (2kb) and Contact (2kb), total space taken is 4kb.

      Person Accounts consume a record in both the Account and Contact objects. Each record allocates 2KB, so each Person Account record will require 4KB of storage space. As an example, 500,000 person accounts will require around 2GB of storage.
