These aren’t “the wealthy” - most of these are priced at $50k-75k. That’s prepper nutjob price ranges and it’s no surprise that they’re shooting people with front end loaders since obviously it’s the government disguised as the company workers, coming to dig them out and take their guns.

The people who are actually wealthy have the means to not live in a hole in South Dakota surrounded by other people in their own holes. Their hole in the ground will be somewhere much less advertised.

These aren't the control vaults. They are the experiment vaults.

Yeah, IIRC Zuck’s bunker is in New Zealand, because it’s theoretically farthest from radiation fallout during a nuclear event.

In this case, it's just the default number of sig figs Google maps gives. The satellite view literally shows the big hole being dug for the bunker, too.

There's one on Maui, too.

Where are the other Rat nests?

Oh I guess it was some other billionaire who had one in NZ.

NZ does the "golden passport" thing, so lots of billionaires have bought citizenship there. Maybe Peter Theil was the one in headlines for making a compound there?
