Inside the 'billionaire bunkers' where the world's super rich will ride out the apocalypse

A growing number of the world's super rich are preparing for the apocalypse by purchasing 'doomsday bunkers'.

But don't expect the one per cent to slum it out in drab, concrete dwellings as they survive the end of the world - these bunkers feature some of the most lavish layouts imaginable that are designed for the more modern survivalist.

'Your father or grandfather's bunker was not very comfortable,' Robert Vicino, CEO of Vivos, told CNN.

'They were gray. They were metal, like a ship or something military. And the truth is mankind cannot survive long-term in such a Spartan, bleak environment.'

It’s a zoo where normal citizens can go see rich people in their natural habitat.

Not complete unless there is a fully functioning Starbucks on premises.

A lot of wealthy people have homes in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A quick look at a map shows some reasons why. It's out in the middle of nowhere with national park all around it, and just a few roads which can be easily blocked. It has an airport so you can get there if you have your own plane. There's a lake for a secure water supply. The surrounding parks have wildlife for hunting. Etc, etc.

If SHTF, I don't want to be surrounded by concrete -- I want to be surrounded by well-armed friends, and be located far away from "inner city" zones.

“...lake for secure water supply.” That could be fixed fairly easily by some miscreant.

These houses were being built in the Rockies in the mid-1990s (and I'm sure other places, too). Many are in gated communities, a protectable distance from areas of population. The ones I saw back then mostly didn't have anyone actually residing in them, but had guards protecting the enclaves. They had everything needed for survival and self-sufficiency, for years if necessary.

My reaction back then was two-fold. One was "they know something we don't know". Another one was from the couple in front of me on a bus tour for a charity. The lady said "my gosh, how many multi-millionaires are there? How does everyone else survive with so many rich people we never even heard of?"

That was about twenty years ago. What's my point? Of course the global elite have a plan if it all comes tumblin' down.

That's my conspiracy theory, and I haven't seen, heard, or read anything to discount it these past 20 years.

The next apocalypse will be the Tribulation and I don’t plan on being here.

Are their quarters for Maria the housekeeper? Juan the chef? Julio the janitor? Will there be safe spaces?

There are two definitions here needed to understand the thread.

1. What is rich?

If rich is defined as money or worth, what good is it if there is nothing to spend it on. Might as well use it to start cooking fires.

What is doomsday?

If they are going into a bunker to escape a doomsday, then it is a strong possibility that nothing will be there when they come back up, and all that “rich: means nothing. Rich and poor starve or dehydrate at the same rate.

Unfortunately if the poop hits the fan the rich people who paid for the bunkers will be kicked out by the guards they hired.

Think if it was to come I would rather be ground zero and get vaporized in a nanosecond.
