Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s secret Hawaiian apocalypse bunker and the doomsday conspiracy behind it
Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building a compound worth a staggering $100 million on the Hawaiian island Kauai. When coupled with land purchase prices though, the cost of the sprawling mansion exceeds $270 million. Unsurprisingly, people (including US Senator Bernie Sanders) already have some thoughts on this obscene manifestation of extreme wealth:
Corporate greed is Mark Zuckerberg becoming $3.4 billion richer TODAY while building a $100 million mansion in Hawaii with 30 bathrooms and an underground bunker. Meanwhile, a record-breaking 653,000 Americans are homeless & over 60% of our workers live paycheck to paycheck.

Nevertheless, this isn’t even the juicy bit. Although the planning and construction of the roughly 1,400-acre compound has been shrouded in secrecy, a couple of ambitious journalists were able to dig out some details.
The property, which is already one of the world’s most expensive ones, is said to have a treehouse village and not one, but two mansions connected by a tunnel. Most interestingly, however, it was reported that the two mansions of the residence, known as Koolau Ranch, will have access to a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter with its own energy and food supplies.
According to WIRED, Zuckerberg’s project has relied on political connections and legal manoeuvring. Furthermore, it is believed that the American businessman had to show disregard for the local community to build the compound. Are we even surprised?

Nevertheless, the peculiar fact that the mansion contains a bunker and relies on political ties to be built led to an onslaught of doomsday theories online:
Mark Zuckerberg building a Doom’s Day apocalyptic mansion with an escape hatch and underground bunker is a valid ground for paranoia.

On Monday 18 December 2023, it was also reported by Marca that Barack and Michelle Obama are credited as producers on the doomsday film Leave the World Behind. The movie was released on Netflix on 22 November. It stars Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke and Charlie Evans and thematises the end of the world at the hands of international hackers.
Many are linking the involvement of the Obamas as a sign of warning that this future might be closer than we think. Are Barry and Michelle trying to send us a warning?
Barrack & Michelle Obama made a film called “Leave the World Behind” on Netflix that portrays the Apocalypse. It shows the 3 stages needed in order to cause a Civil War to destabilize the Country!! We’re already pass 1. This is getting scary & absurd! pic.twitter.com/lYmNXDrhHb

"Leave behind all the old ways of thinking that divide us — sexism, racial prejudice, status, greed. And set the world on a different path," former President Barack Obama told graduating high schoolers during the "Graduating Together" special. https://t.co/UBhwSIcxzc

If you have Netflix, you need to watch "Leave The World Behind."

A scenario like this has kept me up nights for many years.
It couldn't be more timely. It was produced by Barack and Michelle Obama.#LeaveTheWorldBehind is a warning of what could be. pic.twitter.com/sgNxQxInYr
There seems to be a concerning theme of the world’s richest and most powerful worrying about an impending apocalypse. While it’s difficult to say whether their worries are justified, it should be noted that sexism, racial prejudice, wealth disparity and greed are recurring themes in these conversations that have always incurred warnings about a societal collapse.
