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 Noah’s 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.”

Sooooo....an EMP hits....how the He** do these billionaires get to these digs?
867s response ( ;-) ) is probably spoken from the idea that most of the elitist bunkers are to specifically carry them over the other side of an event of their making to “reset the planet” so they can relive another age of exploration/conquest and feudal serfdom over a population reduced to around 500 million.
Chicken, beef or shrimp ramen?
Is there a difference?
Men with rifles, a backhoe and a D8 will eventually prevail.
Yes ... on the label.
Maybe the facility for the rich will be taken over the rich’s body guards
The shrimp sucks really, really bad.
It even makes your spam taste bad.
And, BTW, spam keeps forever. And has more calories per cubic inch that anything I can think of...and it has some protein too.
You can live on spam and sea biscuits and the grass of the field indefinitely.
And, most importantly (besides permanent storage), no cooking required.
“I’m trying to imagine spending the aftermath in a facility packed with people used to having what they want when they want and used to having the means to make that so.”
I sense a lot of one star Yelp reviews coming...
of course you understand that their entire fortunes have come from the peasants....
they taxed us..manipulated govts in their favor....started wars for financial gain...
I have no allegiance for any of them...
Revelation 6
12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
Well, never hurts to be prepared. Wouldn’t want to be underground for the great earthquake though.
“...paying up to $35,000 just as an entry fee to the Vivos Indiana facility...”
I don’t know. Buying into a group facility like this sounds about as wise as prepping by buying shares of gold stored in some vault in Switzerland.
I only have one word for the elite in bunkers:
Welder.
“That seems to have a lot of promise...unless they run into a military capital ship.”
On the TV show Fear the Walking Dead it looks like they are about to get on some rich guy’s yacht. I told my family “Sounds like a great idea. Until they come across pirates that can out-moter and out-gun them.” (I think the dad might have held on to an over-under shotgun!)
I think I’d rather take my chances in the woods in a SHTF situation.
Possibly 3 could be a yes. The other two,no.
Hopefully not more than you and I already know...
Dang that Milankovitch and his confounded cycles.
Have you seen the movie snow piercer?
