Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is building a sprawling, $100 million compound in Hawaii—complete with plans for a huge underground bunker.
The compound, located on the island of Kauai, is partially built and will consist of more than a dozen buildings, including two main mansions that will be connected by a tunnel.
The tunnel will lead to a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter, which will have an escape hatch that can be reached by a ladder, according to the building plans cited by Wired.
The shelter will have a living space and a mechanical room, and will be protected by a “blast-resistant” concrete and steel door.
But Koolau Ranch is not just a luxury retreat for Zuckerberg and his family. It is also a potential survival base in case of a global catastrophe.
Wired’s reports indicate that the builders aim to make the compound completely self-reliant. The property will have a water tank that is 55 feet in diameter and 18 feet tall, along with a pump system. The 1,400 acres of land already have ranching and agriculture activities that can provide food sources.
Zuckerberg has been very secretive about his Hawaii project.
He has erected a 6-foot wall around the compound and has made all his workers sign NDAs about their work.
He spent $170 million to buy the land for his ranch, which he considers his family home, according to the outlet.
