_ $2 billion Powerball winner Edwin Castro’s lavish Hollywood Hills mansion narrowly dodged a disastrous fate this week. The $25.5 million property found itself on the edge of a precipice as a landslide threatened to engulf it.

While the billionaire’s home remained intact, a neighboring property wasn’t as fortunate, with half of the residence buried under a blanket of dirt.
