While preppers and survivalists have grown in numbers over recent years, preparing for everything from an Electromgnetic Pulse (EMP) to a zombie apocalypse, with sites catering to those prepping on a budget, and the U.S. government continues to stock their underground facilities for an extinction level event, another segment of society is preparing for doomsday and how to survive it in style.
Billionaires are buying up space in underground bunkers, luxury bomb shelters, paying up to $35,000 just as an entry fee to the Vivos Indiana facility, but the price tag for the Vivos Europa One facility, described as a subterranean Noahs Ark will run you $3 to $5 million, and according to Robert Vicino, founder and CEO of survival prep company the Vivos Group, his clients range from top surgeons to movie stars to U.S. miltary colonels.
While Pulse.com highlights the man who builds luxury bomb shelters for the billionaires afraid of doomsday, with careful attention to detail in describing what these luxury bunkers look like and include, a few interesting points are made within the article, including the fact that catering to doomsday preppers has become a multibillion dollar business.

I'd take a cockamamie idealist over an arrogant crook any day of the year...
she would start a nuclear war if it meant filling her coffers or that of her elitist friends.
“Wonder what these bankers know...”
Probably not a lot that is not available to you and me. It has been obvious for decades that things cannot continue the way they have been going forever. If you see a car heading South on I-95 in Virginia you have no way of knowing where that car wil be in 24 hours but you can say for certainty that if it keeps traveling South on 95 it will eventually wind up in Florida. In the same way you could have seen forty years ago that this country was headed in the wrong direction and it has not tried to change direction, it has only gone faster and faster in the wrong direction. It slowed down during the Reagan years but never did the 180 that was needed.
My guess is that theses communities of uber wealthy will not survive there servants who decide that they want there shelter for there family
We are entering a 10,000 year full-on ice age.
The world’s population will be reduced by 98% in three to ten years.
I am so screwed.
Chicken, beef or shrimp ramen?
Isaiah 2:19
When the LORD rises to shake the earth, his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground. They will hide in caves in the rocks from the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty.
Revelation 6:15 - 16
Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
I’m glad they’re prepping. The more that are ready, the better.
The scary ones are people thinking this lifestyle and free stuff will last forever and feel entitled to what the rest of us have.
At least these billionaires are planning on taking care of themselves.
As long as they ask nothing from me... and leave me alone.
No no no. We are looking at Gorebull (sp intentional) Warming. The media keeps telling me so!
/you are correct, although 98% might be a bit high
You caught my error. It will be 99.982%.
Only people with designs on my Prep Stash ask me that sort of question.
Kind of funny how people writing these things THOUSANDS of years ago could get it so right, eh? Almost like they were being told what was coming by Someone who Knew...
I hope you’re wrong or kidding. Sadly, I think you are neither, Laz.
What preps I have taken are played close to the vest, and I am prepared to defend them.
I encourage others to do so.
I am neither anticipating needing to take from others nor becoming someone's serf.
Trade will be optional. I've read Selco and Ferfal and their comments in that regard made sense to me and should be required reading by all.
I have skills as well.
We aren't sitting perfect, but for the income level and not being economically leveraged at all, we're all right.
I have turned the soil with a spade before and can do it again, if I need more room to plant.
I even have a better neighbor now for such events, and we have established a mutual defense zone if things go badly.
Anyone who thinks they are going to survive alone better be very far removed from the madding crowd.
As for billionaires, maybe they will be able to roll up their sleeves and survive, maybe not. They will have huge adjustments to make, and for some of them, that just won't go well. For those of who have been dirt floor poor before, we know what we can handle.
AMEN!!!
What these bunker people don’t realize that perhaps the Earth will give way underneath them. Making it their tomb. No thanks I rather see my Maker who is the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior.
What do bankers know?
They know they have been screwing the working man for years and years and their time is running out.
The big bankers and the elitist class are fixing to reap the whirlwind. The feral hood rats are going to get it too but they just don’t know it. When their government checks won’t cash you will see zombies in the streets.
Ramen is bad for you.
More likely, Caliphate to kill the evil indigenous wealthy or anarchists / communists to do the same, who are currently letting in the army of Muslim men who want to do the latter.
