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.

Luke 17:33
Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it
1 Thessalonians 5:2
Those thermite ones they use for stuff like fusing railroad track repairs...
“a backhoe and a D8”
Pile of scrap metal after an EMP.
Twinkies and Spam are all anyone one needs as far as foodstuffs. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why people make things so complicated!
BTW....
Its been 30ish years so since I saw and I don't remember nor know the exact present figures but, a colonel wasn't a particularly well paying job, at least not by civilian standards...I hope someone at CIA/FBI knows where all these colonels are getting $3-5million. I would sure like to know.
Why? So the UN/One World can pump gasoline down on our heads too? I don’t want to be anywhere near anyplace so well known now because of the activity it would see then.
Well we don’t want to have to go through all the hassle of invading if you don’t have duck flavored ones.
That would work. You can still gas weld, too, even after the EMP.
I'll also take this opportunity to highlight the book I authored, "When There is no FEMA". You have my guarantee that it's the best, most balanced and detailed modern day survival book available. That one book will save you months of culling through other sources of prepper info.
Those lyrics remind me so much of the fallout shelter era circa 1961.
Tuesday Weld, the limbo, JFK’s New Frontier, the Reds will attack first, I remember it all from when I was 12.
I made for my Dad a list of all the guns we were going to need. He said, “Fine, son, go out & earn the money and you can buy whatever you think we should have.”
A schoolmate’s Dad who was a doctor built a blastproof shelter as an annex to their basement. Ground Zero defined as the Washington Monument was about four miles away.
Then there were those Twilight Zone episodes featuring fallout shelters with all the moral dilemmas.
A powered yacht is all kinds of bad because they *depend* on diesel.
A sailboat, on the other hand, doesn’t *depend* on anything manmade. Wind is reasonably common for those few times you’d likely need to be moving.
They just suck if they run into a military (or paramilitary) capital ship.
So you’d want to be close to shore (your escape plan) if your fear was militarized warships...or far from shore if your prime concern was “zombies”.
They just had a zombie attack on Aer Lingus. One dead and at least one infected.

Be mobile.
I’m 109 miles East of K-ville. West TN is too close to Memphis.
fta... his clients range from top surgeons to movie stars to U.S. miltary colonels.

How do military colonels become multi-millionaires?
What we need is a hardcopy database of all these facilities, so when the time comes they can be ours.

That would be stealing.
Maybe. There is a definite possibility that that many alpha type personalities will not do well in an enclosed space, which could lead to self destructive conflict. In that event, it would be scavenging, not stealing.
Many sense it like the hair standing up on the back of your neck.
Obama will wreak havoc in the next 15 months.
That’s true; if the owners are deceased, and no lawful heirs are anywhere around, or determinable (in a SHTF scenario) then scavenging is not only allowable but smart.
But the way the original comment was phrased seemed to indicate that he (or she) would like to get there first....
