The destroyed Malibu abode was one of several Castro purchased after he won the historic $2.04 billion prize back in November 2022.
That’s a shame.
At least he has other homes he can escape to.
Lucky him. He can cash out the insurance, sell the lot and move to the United States.
Is it his getaway or is it his home? I don’t call my little 70’s suburban tract house a getaway.
First of all if I won 2 billion dollars in the lottery I wouldn’t be buying $4 million dollar houses...or $500,000 cars....or million dollar rings.
In pretty much any other state that house is pretty much a double-wide.
Poor guy. Now he’ll have to dig deeper into the couch to find the money to rebuild.
“all that remained of Castro’s $3.8 million home was concrete pillars and smoldering wood”
Wrong. The most tangibly valuable part of the property is the ocean-front land which is just fine.
I would also add that it is completely insane not to use freely available seawater to put out the fires of homes that are literally on the ocean. I understand not wanting to “salt the earth” where other homes are, but the land at the edge of the sea has already been salted.
Easy come, easy go.

My thoughts recently have tended to a position contrary to my norm, wondering if the people of California are experiencing mass Karma; in which innocents are punished along with the guilty.
