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 second the shit hits the fan, the security guards are going to shoot him in the head and take over the island, and that's if he hasn't pissed them off enough to torture him first.

I never get stuff like this. If civilization collapses, do these guys think they’re actually going to find people to deliver them to their bunkers? And if they do, they’re going to tell the people that brought them there to fuck off? You don’t get a spot? And even if you do get a spot inside, what’s going to happen? You’re the chauffeur and are gonna be zucks bitch cleaning everything and doing dishes for however long you’re stuck inside?

All these thechbro bunkers are absurd. They think they’ll actually make it to them, that they won’t be overrun eventually (or whatever security they hire won’t turn on them) or that life in a post apocalyptic world is worth living. Guess slowly killing yourself with a hoard of alcohol is better than dying with the rabble?
