Is the multi-million dollar investment in security justified, or is it all just an empty waste?
In a world where technological advances are advancing at an unprecedented rate, billionaires often choose a unique way of investing-acquiring islands and building protected bunkers on them. The names of such famous personalities as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page have long been associated not only with incredible wealth, but also with the acquisition of large plots of land in secluded places.
The same Zuckerberg, for example, last year invested $100 million in the construction of an underground bunker on his Kulau ranch in Hawaii. This confirms the trend among billionaires to build not just holiday homes, but entire fortified complexes.
Reed Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, shared in an interview that almost half of his billionaire friends in Silicon Valley either already have secret shelters or are in the process of creating them. This makes us think about the reasons for this trend.
Some conspiracy theorists suggest that billionaires are preparing for some kind of apocalyptic event that only they know about . It is claimed that this event may occur as early as 2024. However, there is no evidence for such assumptions, and the actions of billionaires may have a more prosaic explanation.
Zuckerberg's Koolau Ranch, for example, despite having a large underground space, is only part of an even larger $400 million construction project. The ranch is also home to farms, livestock feeding grounds, breweries, and more, making it a self-sufficient ecosystem complex.
A similar concept of self-sufficiency can be traced to other luxury properties in Hawaii. They are not only equipped with underground shelters, but also able to produce organic food, have their own forests, bars, ponds and breweries.
This raises the question: if Zuckerberg and other billionaires really knew about some impending disaster, wouldn't they have invested all their money exclusively in building bunkers, instead of creating vast and expensive complexes?
Moreover, many billionaires who own real estate in Hawaii, including Elon Musk, Britney Spears, Larry Page and others, do not have underground shelters. This suggests that the construction of bunkers is not so much a precautionary measure as an opportunity to ensure the safety of your family in the event of natural disasters or geopolitical conflicts.
However, with the growing number of secret underground shelters, public disapproval and censure of such actions are becoming more frequent. For example, in New Zealand, there are already cases where local authorities oppose the construction of bunkers, pointing out possible harm to nature and local communities.
An increase in the number of billionaires who own land on the islands can lead to a new kind of aristocracy, depriving local communities of rights and resources. This raises concerns about possible negative impacts on the natural environment and social structure.
Thus, while billionaires have the right to buy land and build luxury shelters on it, it is important that such actions are carried out with the interests of local communities in mind and do not harm the environment. Well, rumors about the coming apocalypse are probably greatly exaggerated.
