Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s Top-Secret Hawaii Compound | WIRED (www.wired.com)

A WIRED investigation just revealed Mark Zuckerberg's years-long construction of a lavish, bunker-equipped sprawling compound in Hawaii.

The details:

The nearly completed Koolau Ranch spans 1,400 acres with over a dozen buildings, 30 bedrooms, off-grid power and food, helipads and underground bunkers with blast-resistant doors.

Costs eclipse $270 million — with reports of extreme NDAs muzzling hundreds of workers, lawsuits targeting landholders, and Zuckerberg reps allegedly clashing with press.

Political ties abound as the Chan/Zuckerberg donations flow, including hiring a former council chair and funding a former vice chair's nonprofit.

While tech entrepreneurs have a history of doomsday prepping, Zuck sounds like he’s taking this Hawaiian hideaway to the next level.

Wouldn't you?

I win the lottery and have a couple hundred million to blow and "Bond Villain Lair" is like #1 on my list of shit to do.

#2 is "buy a bunch of land and surplus military equipment and play Warhammer 40k with actual tanks" and I feel like those two things fit nicely together.
