David Steiner's $9 million Malibu mansion, built with earthquake-resistant and fireproof features, miraculously survived the recent Palisades wildfire that destroyed surrounding homes. The home's sturdy construction, including stucco and stone walls and a fireproof roof, proved crucial in its survival. Steiner, initially believing his home was lost, was shocked to see photos and videos showing it unscathed amidst the devastation. While grateful, he emphasized the loss of life and property was far more significant than the survival of his secondary residence. The story highlights both the destructive power of the wildfire and the effectiveness of specialized construction in extreme conditions.
