Mark Zuckerberg Says His 5,000-Square-Foot Hawaii Bunker Is Just a 'Little Shelter'
Mark Zuckerberg has sought to clarify misunderstandings regarding his 5,000-square-foot underground shelter on his expansive Hawaii property, referring to it modestly as a "little shelter" or "basement" rather than the "doomsday bunker" it has been speculated to be. In a conversation with Emily Chang on The Circuit, Zuckerberg emphasized his aim for the Hawaii ranch, noting an ambition to produce the world's highest quality beef, supported by endeavors such as macadamia nut farming and beer brewing to entice the cattle. This is prepared by SSP.
Wired's 2023 investigation revealed the property to include distinctive features like 11 interconnected treehouses and guest accommodations, alongside this underground structure with a concrete-filled entrance. Two mansions are poised as pivotal elements, anticipated to house luxurious amenities such as a gym, pools, and more. This compound, valued at close to $100 million, has not only drawn attention because of its formidable size and nature but has also faced scrutiny from local and indigenous communities due to its perceived impact on their lands, sparking a petition to halt perceived cultural intrusion.
The property, also referred to as Koolau Ranch, maintains levels of confidentiality with contractual secrecy, including NDAs. Despite efforts from Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, to support local philanthropy via the Chan Zuckerberg Kauai Community Fund, tensions continue against their expansive estate referred to as "fight club" for its clandestine operations. In response, Zuckerberg firmly stated the situation was exaggerated, asserting the property is predominantly meant as a residential and agricultural pursuit rather than a fortified refuge from catastrophe.
