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.
The few wealthy people I’ve met, not billionaires but $100+ millionaires, seem to have a limited skill set. They have “people” to do the work. I’ve always wondered how they would fair in a post-apocalyptic world?
Personally I’d rather have those people that can MacGuyver a solution out of rubber bands and mud.
All this to say that ol’ Zuck should probably hire some good ol’ boys/girls to do his work for him or he’s screwed.
10000% agreed. Sure you are rich enough to somehow live through. Along with other Richie’s. Who actually can hunt or knows electronics and wiring? Lol
Farmers mate, farmers.
For sure. I meant in the billionaire class that would survive in these fantasies of theirs.
