California’s super-rich have plenty of luxury bunkers to choose from — but this one takes doomsday prepping to a whole new level.
A massive network of underground vaults is being carved into the Swiss Alps, offering the ultra-wealthy a heavily fortified place to stash everything from priceless art and gold to vintage Ferraris and expensive wine.
The complex will house about 20 private vaults buried under more than 100 meters of solid rock — a natural fortress designed to keep criminals out.
Each underground cave is being sold on a 99-year lease, with prices starting at nearly 1 million Swiss francs — about $1.23 million.
“The advantage is that the client becomes the owner: they have their own parcel number in the land register and can even mortgage the property,” the developer said, according to swissinfo.ch.
The underground space once had a much less secretive purpose. It was home to Cantina Caverna, a restaurant and event venue, along with a shooting range and a firefighter training center designed to simulate tunnel fires.

Yeah, stock it with fine art cuz, in a post-apocalyptic world it’s of great value and in high demand.
Anti-Christ has a ‘fatal’ head wound and yet still lives.
When I think of this verse, for some reason I always imagine Hitler....

I think of Obama and the giant scar on the side of his head they were so careful not to share photos of. Bunkers aren’t going to help these people.
He probably meant "marauding band."
( as you well know)
They should skip the vehicles and start raising horses and collecting covered wagons.
Lol.
Yes, it is first an evil spirit and will take its seat wherever it can receive its power. Then fully manifest itself into, like a Hitler, the physical embodiment of that evil power, time and party.
Satan is not in control of the timing only God is, so he must always have someone standing by and ready to perform this role.
I meant to add that Obama is also a mere creation, a construct of that same demonic ‘deep state Blob’ manifestation.
But his bloom is off the rose. Satan will hurl his vile carcass aside for another as soon as he requires something newer to present to a waiting world.
"Bidding starts at 500 Swiss Francs."
"Jjjjaaaap!"
Nope, I'm very literal minded. And my initial reflex is not to assume that my interlocutor has made a mistake (that's nearly unthinkable here at Free Republic!), but rather that he has simply used a word with which I am not familiar.
Regards,
I was just thinking about the scar on Obama’s head the other day! It must have been four inches long and curved a bit. Like someone needed to pull back a patch of his scalp for some reason.
Or marauding gang...
Zuckerberg is going to be surprised when he goes to enter his bunker and finds that his Chief Thug now rules.

I think its more that they are engineered so tight there is zero room for things to go wrong. Faster, lighter, tighter.
Carbon fiber, exotic metals, thin walled-engines with massive boost.
If I remember right Zueckerberg already own a 100 acre hidey hole on one of the Hawaiian Islands.
Possible, but based on the quirks of qwerty, I still vote for “band.” Of course, it could even be a “marauding gangband.” So many possibilities.
Are they going to have a standing army as well to prevent all that from being taken?Army included! The elixir of eternal life, aka, mercury, available for an additional fee.
,,, for a million Swiss francs I’d want a gold toilet, a mink sink and piped jazz in the bathroom thrown into the contract.
Most of the time he just acted like they had a standing army.
...which, of course, is this weekend.
