Amidst whispers of billionaires fortifying themselves against doomsday scenarios, tales of apocalypse-proof bunkers have captivated imaginations for a while.
Enter the intrigue: Wired magazine's recent expedition into the heart of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's vast 1,400-acre Hawaiian retreat, Koolau Ranch, unveiling the secrets within its colossal scale and construction.
Nestled on Hawaii's oldest island's northeast shore, Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is overseeing an ambitious construction endeavor that surpasses the ordinary. This colossal $270 million project comprises two expansive mansions, an entire village of structures, and an underground bunker larger than a basketball court.
Unveiling Unprecedented Luxuries
Reported by Wired, this venture, with $100 million allocated for construction and $170 million for land, stands as one of the most colossal personal undertakings in history. Beyond Candy Spelling's opulence, Zuckerberg's blueprint includes grander plans.
Unprecedented Design and Features
Documentation obtained by Wired unveils extraordinary details—a combined mansion spanning 57,000 square feet with 30 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, conference rooms, and an industrial-grade kitchen. Yet, the real intrigue lies in the subterranean elements.
The Underground Marvel
A tunnel links the mansions to a 5,000-square-foot shelter, equipped not only for survival but for comfort—a library, escape hatch, and bomb shelter-like doors ensure privacy and security. This self-sufficient haven eliminates the need for outside essentials.
A Multitude of Opulent Amenities
Spanning 1,400 acres, the compound boasts guest houses, multiple pools, a gym, sauna, tennis court, and even 11 treehouses interconnected by rope bridges. Yet, controversies simmer—a contractor's legal tussle over unpaid funds for the treehouses adds a twist.
Shrouded in Secrecy
Zuckerberg's intentions for this lavish hideaway remain elusive, shielded by strict NDAs and a spokesperson's silence. Compounded by a surrounding six-foot wall, speculation swells about the CEO's enigmatic plans, all while evoking curious anticipation for what's next in this extravagant saga.
