During The Wildfires In Los Angeles, The Business Magnate Explains How The “Miracle” House Survived “Untouched”

David Steiner, a retired waste-management tycoon, was left in disbelief when his $9 million Malibu villa survived the destructive Palisades wildfire, which devastated the surrounding neighborhood. Over 5,000 homes and businesses were destroyed, and the fire was one of eight burning across Los Angeles County. Steiner’s mansion was the only one in his area to remain untouched, prompting widespread attention.

Steiner attributes his home’s survival to its exceptional design. The 4,200-square-foot, four-bedroom house was built with ultra-sturdy construction, designed to withstand earthquakes. Its stucco and stone exterior, along with a fireproof roof, provided crucial protection against the flames. Additionally, the house has pilings that extend 50 feet into the bedrock, enhancing its stability. Although Steiner never anticipated a wildfire would reach his property, he is grateful that the home survived, particularly since it wasn’t his family’s primary residence.

Upon hearing about the fire’s impact, Steiner initially feared the worst but was later relieved when friends sent him images of his villa still standing, while nearby properties were reduced to rubble. Though his mansion was spared, Steiner expressed deep empathy for those who lost their homes and acknowledged that his losses were minimal in comparison. He also noted that while he has insurance, it would cover only 50% of any wildfire damage, and the estate likely sustained some smoke damage.

Steiner’s story highlights both the unpredictability of wildfires and the stark contrast between personal loss and broader community devastation.
