"Mark Zuckerberg is said to have started work on Koolau Ranch, his sprawling 1,400-acre compound on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, as far back as 2014. It is set to include a shelter, complete with its own energy and food supplies, though the carpenters and electricians working on the site were banned from talking about it by non-disclosure agreements, according to a report by Wired magazine."
"That hasn't stopped the speculation - likewise about his decision to buy 11 properties in the Crescent Park neighbourhood of Palo Alto in California, apparently adding a 7,000 square feet underground space beneath. Though his building permits refer to basements, according to the New York Times, some of his neighbours call it a bunker. Or a billionaire's bat cave. Bloomberg via Getty Images"
Mark Zuckerberg began work on Koolau Ranch, a 1,400-acre compound on Kauai, around 2014 and incorporated an underground shelter with independent energy and food supplies. Site workers were bound by non-disclosure agreements and a six-foot wall blocked views from a nearby road. He denied creating a doomsday bunker, describing the 5,000-square-foot underground space as "just like a little shelter, it's like a basement." Purchases in Palo Alto added underground space and some neighbours have labeled projects as bunkers or a "billionaire's bat cave." Other tech billionaires have acquired land for potential luxury bunkers, with "apocalypse insurance" and AI-driven existential concerns informing decisions.
