A WIRED investigation just revealed Mark Zuckerberg’s years-long construction of a lavish, bunker-equipped sprawling compound in Hawaii.
The details:
The nearly completed Koolau Ranch spans 1,400 acres with over a dozen buildings, 30 bedrooms, off-grid power and food, helipads and underground bunkers with blast-resistant doors.
Costs eclipse $270 million — with reports of extreme NDAs muzzling hundreds of workers, lawsuits targeting landholders, and Zuckerberg reps allegedly clashing with press.
Political ties abound as the Chan/Zuckerberg donations flow, including hiring a former council chair and funding a former vice chair’s nonprofit.
While tech entrepreneurs have a history of doomsday prepping, Zuck sounds like he’s taking this Hawaiian hideaway to the next level.
First of all, bravo to the bunker building industry, to manage to sell doomsday preping to all these rich folks.
Now, from a practical standpoint, how cool it’s to have $300m laying around for your little hobby? Because that’s what this is, a hobby.
If society collapse, that Shit may buy them a couple of years tops, of a very miserable life.
They won’t Fuck scape to Mars or to a bunker. We’ll eventually eat the rich like a fucking French revolution and spend few generations cleaning the mess.
I see it as my duty to fart into every billionaire bunker air intake I come across.
