Zuckerberg's Bug Out Retreat

The Daily Mail reports: "Mark Zuckerberg is building one of the biggest homes in US history: $270M Hawaiian compound will include its own VILLAGE and huge underground bunker." From the lede:

    Mark Zuckerberg is set to drop $270 million on his top-secret Hawaii compound - which features multiple mansions, an entire village and a 5,000 square foot underground bunker.

    WIRED obtained public records and court documents revealing all of the extravagant amenities Zuckerberg plans to include in his Koolau Ranch property located on the northeast shore of Hawaii's oldest island Kauai.

    The billionaire Facebook founder, 39, and his wife Priscilla Chan bought 110 acres of a former sugar plantation on the island back in 2021 - adding to the couple's 1,300 acre $100million luxury estate. 

It continues:

    The lavish homes will include 30 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, conference rooms, an industrial kitchen and multiple elevators, documents revealed.

    An elaborate underground tunnel system will connect the mansions - the pathway, which will double as a shelter, stretches out of 5,000 square feet and features a living area, library and an escape hatch.

    The bunker has soundproof doors made of metal and concrete to protect against possible threats, including bombs.

    Zuckerberg and his lucky guests won't have to worry about leaving the compound for any reason - the self-sufficient estate has food and water sources as well as every amenity you can think of.

    There are guest houses, a gym, a sauna, several swimming pools, a hot tub, a cold plunge pool and a tennis court.

    A particularly unique feature of Zuckerberg's over-the-top pad is a network of 11 treehouses connected with rope bridges. 

 I wonder how he expects to maintain control over his security personnel when SHTF?

  1. Looks like he bought the security folks a nice bolthole.

    1. But in a serious, long term collapse, they might decide that they need the resources more than Zuck and his useless hanger-ons.
