You asked, "Why is it that the very wealthy now want to gobble up the burnt terrain?" You did not ask, "Why would someone put a mansion on a plot of land that destined to burn up?"

I was responding to your original question. The very wealthy have aspirations of owning Maui. They would own it without having to share it with lowly peons.

But most of all, they could buy it for pennies on the dollar.
