Mark Zuckerberg building ‘Bond villain’ bunker in Hawaii

Mark Zuckerberg is said to be building a $100 million Hawaii compound that includes an underground bunker with its own food and energy sources, Report informs referring to The Times.

The billionaire CEO of Meta has bought swathes of land on the island of Kauai and has begun a construction project shrouded in secrecy.

Workers on the project, including carpenters, security guards and electricians, have been made to sign strict non-disclosure agreements and those who violate the terms are sacked, according to Wired.

Nonetheless details have leaked out, suggesting that Zuckerberg, 39, is building a sprawling complex that could serve as a postapocalyptic refuge in case of civilizational collapse.

The complex, which is partially completed, consists of more than a dozen buildings with at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms.

Interviews with several people associated with the project, along with public records and court documents seen by WIRED, suggest that since then, the planning and construction of the roughly 1,400-acre compound has been shrouded in secrecy.

The property, known as Koolau Ranch, will, according to planning documents, include a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter, have its own energy and food supplies, and, when coupled with land purchase prices, will cost in excess of $270 million.

According to evidence reviewed by WIRED, the project has relied on legal maneuvering and political networking, and at times, sources believe, it has shown disregard for the local public.

All the while, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan continue to build one of the most expensive properties in the world.
