Did YOU know that a bunch of rich people are building underground bunkers?

Numerous billionaires including Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, and Larry Page have bought large chunks of land on islands. What’s even more surprising is that many such properties have underground tunnels leading to bunker-like structures.

For instance, Zuckerberg is building a $100 million bunker beneath his under-construction Ko’olau Ranch property on the Hawaiian island Kauai.

In an interview, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman also revealed that nearly half of his billionaire friends from Silicon Valley either have some secret hideaways or are working on one.

but don’t worry Zuckerberg assures us thats its not really that big its more of a ’little shelter’

Mark Zuckerberg is downplaying the massive 5,000-square-foot bunker beneath his Hawaiian compound that was revealed in WIRED last year and prompted conspiracy theories on social media about wealthy tech moguls building doomsday bunkers.


The billionaire Facebook co-founder pushed back when Bloomberg reporter Emily Chang, in a video published Tuesday that chronicled her visit to Zuckerberg’s Lake Tahoe property, asked him what he’s “worried about” — and if there’s something he knows “that we don’t” in regard to the bunker.


“No, I think that’s just, like, a little shelter,” he told Chang. “It’s a basement! It’s a basement.”
