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?

Given enough money, they could store supplies sufficient to carry them several years.  But eventually they would need to resort to traditional agriculture.

BillK, note that our doomsday scenarios don't actually kill all of humanity, it just decimates technologically advanced humanity (from starvation which resulted from population densities way beyond environmental carrying capacity enabled by transportation of food.)  It leaves the rest to diminish and decline into savagery.  Under those circumstances, the technology is also self-defeating.

In some places on the planet slow to adopt technology, life mostly goes on as before, for the most part.  Humanity will survive a singularity in my thinking.  It will reset everything, but humanity will be again ready to radiate out of sub Saharan Africa and do it all again.
