Vivos founder and CEO Robert Vicino announced Vivos Europa One which will be an invitation only, five star, underground survival complex, similar to an underground cruise ship for the elite. Each family will be provided a private 2,500 square foot of floor area, capable of two story improvements for a total of 5,000 square feet of private living quarters. With fit and finish comparable to a mega-yacht, each member family will hire their own architect and contractor to build out their living quarters to the custom standard they desire.
The expansive shelter is located in Germany and is one of the most fortified and massive underground survival shelters on Earth. Originally built by the Soviets during the Cold War, this shelter was a fortress for military equipment and munitions. After the DDR was merged with Germany, the German government inherited this relic and intended to use it for the same purpose of weapons storage. However, due to a law prohibiting the storage of ammunition near a major highway, the German Government soon realized they could not continue with their plans and decided to auction this 76 acre complex. A wealthy investor purchased the entire property, along with all of its improvements, both above and below ground. Vicino says “We are proud to bring this epic project forward in these increasingly dangerous times.”

Same with the millionaire/billionaire snowflakes who are buying up great tracts of ranchland in the West.
For one thing they may not be stupid but they almost always are bossy, greedy and selfish---they will tend to turn on each other even if no one else gets to them first.
But likely someone will get to them first. They have ranch managers, ranch workers, maintenance staff and all kinds of neighbors who are better with equipment, tools and weapons than they are.
Why should some highly-trained Chief of Security protect the lovely wife, daughters and bountiful property of the hedge fund genius when he could just as easily call them his own?
I disagree. The very rich can be stupid—because of entitlement and vanity. They also become weak and helpless from the luxury. And they can’t handle being alone. I don’t think they’ll last an hour after TSHTF.
More like death by softness. Prosperity kills when you use it for self-indulgence. You lose your edge.
I agree a lot of them are stupid. Mostly the ones who never had to earn their way. That being said many of them are ruthless, conniving sociopaths who enjoy power games like other enjoy playing chess. For one the builder of that place would have hired good people to advise of security and they would have thought that thru if nothing else.
It’s a shame they aren’t concerned about storing treasures in Heaven, rather than clinging to this decaying world.
Now there’s a scenario that could be turned into a great movie.
