Doomsday talks are always part of the modern society. There has never been a time or period the topic of an apocalyptic end was never raised.
While many of us simply dismiss these gloomy warnings, some top elites are taking these warnings seriously, way too seriously.
Tech billionaires have been known to jump into this trend, building outrageous, big-budget bunkers in preparation for who-knows-what. For what reason? We don't know.
So, here are some of the ridiculous "doomsday bunkers" the Silicon Valley giants have built:

Mark Zuckerberg's $100 Million Hawaiian Compound
Let's start with the latest one. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently been reported to be building a secret compound in Hawaii, complete with plans for an underground bunker.
The construction project, which Zuckerberg started in 2014, has just been unearthed after several former employees exposed the billionaire's plan for a secret bunker.
According to the WIRED, the 1,4000-acre compound is located in the island of Kauai consists of more than a dozen buildings with at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms in total.
The buildings center around two mansions joined by tunnels. The underground shelter itself is complete with a living space, a mechanical room, and an escape hatch.
Cyberhouse
Inspired by Tesla's angular behemoth Cybertruck, this $865,000 bunker is suited to protect the wealthiest away from disasters, viruses, and even zombie outbreaks.
While the whole techno mansion remains a concept project, concept creator Alex Wizhevsky said the bunker will have bunker areas equipped with automated support systems for survival.
According to Wizhevsky, he put the main focus on creating the plan for the bunker on "maximum safety."
Many top figures in Silicon Valley have already proposed to take on the project.
Oppidum
Standing alone in a quiet valley in the Czech Republic, Oppidum stands as the most ambitious underground shelter ever built.
This massive 323,000-square foot property was once a top-secret project between the USSR and Czechoslovakia will soon become an exclusive safety place for billionaires.
The whole bunker itself is equipped with state-of-the-art technology along with a swimming pool, helipad, and defense system. On top of the underground shelter, a residential area is being planned where the elite can stay and build their homes.
Even without world-ending disasters, Oppidum will allow its inhabitants a comfortable life with the capabilities to adapt to long-term power outages, natural disasters, and man-made conflicts.
Vivos Europa One
Rivaling Oppidum as the world's largest underground shelter, Vivos Europa One is located at the heart of Europe and is carved out of solid bedrock under a 400-foot tall mountain.
The shelter-for-the-elite is currently in operational condition, able to accommodate several families for a long-term stay with its 34 private living quarters.
Its creators plan to make Vivos Europa the "modern-day Noah's Ark" to ensure that humanity will remain from whatever disaster may strike in the future. It's just that the humanity that will be left is the select 1% at the top.
