Wow!!!
Obviously, us peons don't have this stuff...
Few things appear to soothe the existential anxieties of the super-rich like a bunker designed to withstand anything short of total nuclear Armageddon. Yet it’s no longer enough for the security-conscious billionaire to stick an impenetrable safe room in the basement where it might sit empty forever. In today’s uber-prime properties, bunkers have gone seriously upmarket and hi-tech, in some cases growing to the extent that whole homes are becoming 21st century fortresses.
“We’ve seen a lot more of a focus on entertainment,” said Al Corbi, who has been at the forefront of secure luxury for 50 years as the president and founder of SAFE (Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments), based in Virginia, in the US. “If you’re going to be able to survive underground, we want you to be having fun.”

It seems the 'paranoia' combined with unlimited $$$ has definitely changed the scope of what is considered a safe space! Zuckie's 5000 sqft 'bunker' under his Kauai home (that they tried their best to hide from the public) appears to actually be fairly 'small' as these things go.
And of course this doesn't count their 'security' forces, etc. etc.
Whereas us poor peons have to rely on ourselves to protect our homes and our loved ones with whatever we have 'handy'.
But I honestly think 'we' have the better end of the stick, as the odds are on our side, and honestly I wouldn't want to live where I had to be constantly in fear that something would happen and I'd need a bunker to hide in. I like my freedom a bit too much for that!
What say you???
Unless they have completely independent power generation (translation, micronuke or geothermal), water supply, food source and oxygen generation they aren't truly long term prospects, and will need resupply from outside. The only thing that comes close I can think of offhand is a nuclear sub, and even those need to dock for stores replenishment.
I would love to have my own personal bunker. I’m in the right area regarding lack of earthquakes, and there’s a lot of natural gas for energy generation, but there are other issues. It’s all a pipe dream though as there’s a serious lack of disposable income to build one.
