Mark Zuckerberg Calls Huge Hawaii Bunker “A Little Shelter”

Mark Zuckerberg took a moment to address claims that he is building a massive bunker beneath his Hawaii compound.

When talking to Bloombergthe Meta CEO was asked WIRED Report from last year that noted he would have a 5,000-square-foot bunker beneath his property on Kauai.

“It’s like a little shelter,” he told The Circuit’s Emily Chang. “Whatever you want to call it, hurricane protection whatever. I think it’s blown out of proportion, like the whole ranch is some kind of doomsday bunker, which is just not true.”

He also explained that his and his wife Priscilla Chan’s property in Hawaii is intended for cattle ranching and his goal is to “try to produce the highest quality beef in the world.”

“The Kauai thing is really fun,” he said. “We have this whole vertical integration plan where we grow macadamia nuts to feed the macadamia meal and we brew beer because that helps them eat more. That’s fun.”

After news of Zuckerberg’s bunker broke, other one-percenters followed suit. Those who can afford to do anything for self-preservation are doing so more than ever in times of escalating armed conflicts around the world and mass shootings closer to home.

“It was very busy and it seems like the phone hasn’t stopped ringing; World War III appears to be imminent,” said Ron Hubbard, CEO of Texas-based Atlas Survival Shelters The Hollywood Reporter in a story published in February. He added that the tech CEO’s bad news “sparked a buying frenzy.”

Robert Vicino, founder of Del Mar, Calif.-based Vivos, which creates underground survival shelters, echoed Hubbard’s sentiments. “Now that Zuckerberg has let the cat out of the bag, other people who share his status or are close to him are thinking, ‘Oh God, if he does that, maybe he knows something that I might not know.’ “I should figure this out myself,” he said at the time.

In addition to the massive bunker, Zuckerberg’s $100 million compound, covering about 1,400 acres and known as Koolau Ranch, will have its own energy and food supplies, it is said WIRED. Combined with the land purchase, it will ultimately cost more than $270 million.

In its investigation published in December 2023, the publication found that the project relied on legal maneuvers and political networking, as well as, at times, disregard for the local public, some sources said.
