Quotes:
In December, Wired magazine revealed that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta
and one of the richest individuals on the planet, was building a
$100-million US compound in Hawaii.

The fact that Zuckerberg is undertaking a nine-figure renovation is
hardly revelatory. The more telling detail is that the compound
includes a bunker — 5,000 square feet, to be specific, with concrete
walls and an escape hatch.

What does this tell us? It's a sign that at least some of the
ultra-rich are anxious about global events and are making contingency
plans for the Big One — whatever form that may take.

The feeling is very much in the air. Architectural Digest named
"luxury bunkers" one of the real estate trends of 2023, and a finely
appointed redoubt figured prominently in the recent Netflix thriller
Leave the World Behind.

So 'Preppers' are now spreading to the ultra-rich.
They had better get AI servant robots soon if all the other people are
not likely to survive.
How will the rich survive without a servant population?
