Mark zuckerburg is building a vast survivalist compound in hawaii

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has spent the past several years acquiring an enormous parcel of land on a picturesque and secluded Hawaiian island.

Reports about the project sparked concern in certain corners of the internet and saw a flood of inquiries directed at companies that construct sub-terrain shelters. It was Christmas in when Zuckerberg took to his social media platform to share happy snaps of his family enjoying the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Most residents are descendants of Native Hawaiians, as well as Chinese, Puerto Rican and Filipino migrants who came to work on sugar plantations in the late 19th Century.

I love taking Max to explore and see all the animals. His lawsuits offered those descendants a choice — either sell up or be legally forced to put the land up for public auction. Since then, Zuckerberg has seized a total of 5. The property is dotted with other guesthouses and operations buildings. The incredible size of the bunker, which has a blast-proof door, is double that of the average Australian home.

Everyone who enters the property must sign a strict nondisclosure agreement, according to reports, and workers are sworn to secrecy. Robert Vicino, founder of another bunker design and construction company called Del Mar, was also inundated with interest from interested buyers. The pandemic was a huge driver of interest in sales; then all the global concerns and issues at home are another boost.

There are queries about the fallout radius of a nuclear bomb dropped on Sydney or Melbourne, air and water filtration systems, suitable locations and more. An operation specialising in underground shelters was active a few years back but appears to have been shuttered. So strong is the apparent demand for bunkers from the elite that a Swiss builder of shelters enlisted a leading French architect to design its range.

Boasting five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the sprawling bunker is packed full of luxurious touches, from its 5m high ceilings to a swimming pool, cinema, gym and even a mini art gallery.
