Around 45 firefighters took 33 minutes to extinguish the fire but said they found a body inside the 825-square-foot home.
Neighbors told KABC he was Will Rothschild, a member of the billionaire British German banking family.
Rothschild was described as private man who was rarely seen leaving the home but was known to keep dozens of expensive cars on the property.
The Los Angles County Medical Examiner’s Office are yet to confirm the identity of the elderly man or his cause of death.
Neighbors are said to have found unopened mail and magazines outside the burnt-out home addressed to a “WM DE ROTHSCHILD”.
Neighbor Jim Moore said: “It is very sad. He was a good guy. A good neighbor.”
The two bedroom, one bathroom house is worth an estimated $1,076,000, according to Zillow.
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
