After all, they can afford purchase TWO new homes with the insurance they are going to get for the house they lost along with their riches.

no, they shouldnt be building homes near fire zones. Just like people shouldnt build homes on hill sides and then they wonder how it could happen to them.

It must be very bad for anyone. Rich or less rich are all homeless today. It's not only the homes but also tons of stuff that was in it (because it was not possible to grab all the valuables for some). Nobody can imagine the inconvenienve of not having a HOME to go to. Where are all the4se poeple going to live temporarily while a new home is built (which takes MONTHS)?

nearly a million people have been evacuated. Many lost their homes. Who cares if they are rich or poor? They worked for the money, they worked for those homes. So of course, these people lost everything. I'd feel bad for the worst person on the planet if he/she lost everything.
It is not a fault to be successful. It's what the American Dream is supposed to be, isn't it? Being successful?
Yes, I feel badly for the rich who lost their homes, as well as the servicemen, (remember San Diego has MCRD, and a couple of military bases, as well as Pendleton up the road) who probably lost their homes, and the homeless that had nowhere to run to, and the rest of the people, and animals who lost their lives or their homes to this fire.
What difference does it make if they have money, really?

I feel sorry for anyone who loses anything in a disaster, rich or not. They pay for their insurance so why shouldn't they collect?
However, if they live in an area that this happens over and over again, then they should not rebuild there and expect to be reimbursed each time. I'm sure the ins co will deny them insurance also. Like Flood insurance not being available in areas that are constantly flooded.

they are LOSING THEIR HOMES. no amount of money can replace pictures, artwork done by a 3rd grader, pets, FAMILY.
I am SO sick of hear that people care differently for the rich than the poor.
Newsflash, not everyone that lives in or around these fires are rich. IF they do have a nice house they worked their butts off to get what they have AND had the foresight to get insurance!!
Get a life...

This is a stupid question. Regardless of whether or not they can afford 5 houses, they still lost the place they call home. That's devastating to anyone. Why should I feel any less sorry for them than I would for a middle class family?

Dont you know the fires range from Santa Barbara to San Diego, Malibu is only one area being affected. Luckily the people in Malibu can rebuild, but what about the other 1500 homes burned? I'm in L.A. & there is smoke coming from all directions, not just Malibu.
Don't hate just because they are well off & have the means to rebuild their homes.
Its bad karma

Step back nonbelievers, and watch as the republicans once again win the White House. Obama is a joke, and everyone knows it. Thank God, I'm no longer a Democrat. Ex-Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.

I feel sorry for anyone who loses their home. these people may have money and surely some were born with a silver spoon in their mouth but many would have also dedicated a massive amount of time and effort to building their wealth. also many of the wealthy donate to charities and help others in times of need.

My thoughts and prayers still go to everyone caught up in the horror, whether they are celebrities or not. It must be devastating to lose a home and prized possessions, regardless of wealth. Money can't buy back memories.

You have to look past the insurance money they will receive and look at the sentimental non-replaceable items they most likely lost. Money doesn't replace everything nor does it make someone immune to the pain of losing their valuables.
