$3M home of LA CEO who offered ‘any amount’ for private protection burns down in Palisades fire

The tony Los Angeles home belonging to a real estate bigwig — who got slammed for offering to “pay any amount” for private fire protection — has been completely gutted in the Palisades Fire, according to online records.

LA County’s official recovery website lists Keith Wasserman’s address as “destroyed” — with a photo of the once-handsome home reduced to a pile of burnt rubble.

Wasserman, the co-founder of real estate investment company Gelt Venture Partners, sparked outrage over his plea on X for private firefighter protection in the historic LA fires — as the homes of ordinary folk went up in smoke.

“Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you,” he posted to his now-deleted X account.

Commenters were quick to flame the viral SOS as greedy and “tone deaf.”

But Wasserman doubled down, calling his critics “trolls!” and clarifying that he had already evacuated.

The LA Recovery website shows every house on Wasserman’s block in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood has burned down.

Public records show Wasserman’s two-story home was worth around $3 million in 2023, which at the time was well under the median Pacific Palisades home value of $5 million, according to data reported by Forbes.

The median home value had fallen to just over $3 million by the time of the fire.

The LA County Recovers map also reveals some homes that miraculously escaped ruin in the Palisades Fire, which has torched over 23,000 acres and killed at least eight people since Tuesday.
