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.

    I wonder how Oprah’s compares? Her’s is so large she was able to get access to a small road that cut across an island closed to the public.

      A bit hyperbolic there. The road didn’t cut across an island; it went from Ulupalakua to Kihei; nearly a straight line that cut out about 30 miles of travelling. It was voted closed because idiots who lived upcountry didnt want any tourists from Kihei driving into their area. What it did was punish those who worked in the resorts but couldnt afford to live nearby. Oprah bought the road because it was offered to her when the residents voted it closed.

      Tl;dr: Oprah is a piece of shit but Kula residents are bigger pieces of shit

    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.

    “And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.”
