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.

When people start fighting each other for bits of food because climate change has made it impossible to feed 8 billion of us, the rich will camp out in their bunkers until they can move to mars.

Doesn't climate change means that sea level is raising and most of the islands and cities near water around the world will be gone in a few years?

Even accelerated by climate change the sea lavel rise is a slow process with about 1 meter per 100 years.
