Amid the Malibu wildfires, David Steiner’s $9 million mansion survived untouched
while nearby homes were reduced to ashes. The 4,200-square-foot property, designed
with fireproof features like stucco walls and a fireproof roof, stood resilient
against the blaze. Steiner, who initially feared his home would be lost, was surprised
by its survival. Though the house wasn’t his primary residence, he expressed humility,
noting the losses of others were far more significant. The fire has caused an
estimated $135-150 billion in damages, destroying over 5,300 structures and claiming at least 10 lives
