This Is What A Billionaire's Apocalypse Shelter Looks Like
Back in June we presented the latest (and only) product from Vivos: a company which specializes in creating the ultimate in luxurious Doomsday bunkers - both in the US (Indiana) and Europe (Germany) - which, however, are not only for the world's wealthiest (read billionaires only need apply) but also for those who Vivos founder, California entrepreneur Robert Vicino, deems worthy: anyone can apply for a spot in the post-apocalypse world but only a select few will be admitted.
So to all those who did not make the list and are terrified that once the Fed and its central bank peers finally lose control and the apocalypse begins to unfold, they will burn with the mere peasants in the resulting mushroom clouds, we have good news: there is a backup option.
As Forbes reports, in a quiet valley in the Czech Republic, stand a complex surrounded by high walls, which is not visible at ground level and from the air appears to be nothing more than a boring administration center.
This is The Oppidum, a massive 323,000 square foot property. Construction on the secret facility began in 1984, at the height of the Cold War, as a classified joint venture between the governments of what were then Czechoslovakia and The Soviet Union. It was built between 1984 and 1994, at a time when global instability and the possibility of weapons of mass destruction were entirely real, just as they are again today.
Because the construction of the facility occurred at a time of heightened world tension, the enormous level of resources used to develop it would be all but impossible to match today. It is extremely unlikely that any government would approve a non-military structure of this size to be built today.
Aerial rendering of The Oppidum Complex
What lies hidden beneath, carved deep in the mountain is the largest residential doomsday shelter in the world.
Just like Vivos Europa One, the Oppidum will be more than an underground bunker for dangerous times. It provides an above-ground residential estate in which the owners can maintain a high standard of living in a secluded area above ground during times of potential danger.
Terrain cut rendering of the Bunker below the estate
Again, just like Vivos' products, the entrance is hidden so that only billionaires who know the secret handshake can go back to their post-apocalyptic 5-star hotel. No zombies allowed:
The residents can enter the shelter by descending through a secret corridor to the bunker, sealing it with a blast door in less than a minute. It enables inhabitants to return quickly to the above-ground residence once the threat has passed.
The below-ground Bunker of The Oppidum will be the area in which inhabitants can be isolated and protected from the threat of war, disease, natural disasters, or personal threats ranging from terrorists to zombies.
Did we mention that billionaire will live here? That means that while it may be 6,000 degrees Kelvin outside, the inside better be draped in luxury.
And it will be: the planned luxurious underground compound on two levels includes a total space of 77,500 sf with 13 foot high ceilings. The layout features one large 6,750 sf apartment and six 1,720 sf apartments.
Among the luxury features are an underground garden with simulated natural light, as well as a spa, swimming pool, cinema, library, and other leisure facilities. There will be offices and a conference room as well as medical and surgical facilities and supplies. Custom private vaults will also be designed to store valuables and personal art collections.
The Oppidum complex will provide its owner with a safe haven for family, friends, business partners, other professionals, and staff in an above-ground residential estate before disaster strikes.

As Forbes adds, the location of The Oppidum is the foundation of its security. The Czech Republic is in central Europe and is surrounded by mountains. "The country is not a target of aggression by any other countries or organizations." Well maybe not right this moment, but there is a funny story about what happened in 1939...
In any event, the hopes is that any potential conflict in the world is likely to avoid the Czech Republic or, at the very least, reach it at a later stage, which would enable the owners of The Oppidum to arrive at the compound and make preparations.

Second floor of the underground shelter
The entire Oppidum complex can be operated from an underground control center, with exclusive access to communications networks internally and to the outside world.
Then again why bother: if the world truly suffers an apocalyptic event, there won't be an "outside world."
So what's the point?
Well, assuming a "less than global extinction event", i.e., a less catastrophic situation, the bunker will allow the inhabitants to survive natural or man-made disasters, or long-term power outages. The bunker will also be able to provide long-term accommodation for residents – up to 10 years if necessary – without the need for external supplies. This would involve large-scale stocks of non-perishable food and water, along with water purification equipment, medical supplies, surgical facilities, and communication networks with the outside world.
Even so, a question emerges: is it really necessary? Furthermore, the entire complex is still incomplete and needs an (even bigger billionaire) buyer:
"the underground levels of The Oppidum are in a newly reconstructed shell-and-core state. Communication and other technologies are not yet in place. They will be incorporated during the customization process.
The above-ground section of The Oppidum is in its original condition, also ready to be customized to the buyer’s wishes. The buyer will be able to choose whether to commission The Oppidum project team to customize the facility or to do the customization of some or all of it independently."
Still, with the amount of discretionary funds held by the world's 0.01%, we are confident someone will step up and purchase the "boutique post-apocalyptic hotel."
Who is the seller of the Oppidium concept?
A Czech entrepreneur Jakub Zamrazil, with a successful track record in real estate development, sales and marketing. When Mr Zamrazil first toured the unique former military facility, he was impressed by its massive scale. He saw its potential to be transformed into the ultimate life-assurance solution and named it The Oppidum, from the Latin word meaning the main settlement in an administrative area of ancient Rome. The word was derived from the earlier Latin op-pedum, an “enclosed space”, used to describe fortresses that were constructed in Europe as early as the Iron Age.
Mr Zamrazil joined forces with top professionals in the fields of security and luxury development to put together the concept of the ultimate life-assurance solution for the modern age. General Andor Šándor (Retired) is the security director and guarantor of the Oppidum project. He is a former Chief of the Military Intelligence Service of the Czech Republic, with the rank of Brigadier General.
According to General Šándor, “The uniqueness of the bunker lies in the fact that it combines state of the art security with luxury and comfort. It is the largest known such facility on earth.”
Why concept? Because while billionaires may or may not have a luxurious transition into the post-apocalyptic world, what they are really needed for right now is their money. Because as of this moment the Oppidium is nothing more than a largely useless Cold War structure, with a few potential floorplans and 3D room designs.
Then again, the true believers of a graceful transition into the "post-apocalypse" will have no qualms about being fleeced. After all, if the end of the world is really coming, nothing will be more worthless than fiat paper: one may as well spend it now.
Plus, don't forget - priorities...

They're gonna need more guards.
http://www.sawfirst.com/genevieve-morton-in-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-...
Maybe just bring Genevieve with you, and you would be comfortable in a cardboard box.
Looks OK until I noticed the palm trees. It's freezing weather over there in the winter so this whole bunker is not the real thing but just a marketing membership ponzi bullshit. After all, I prefer something that I only know of and I don't need any neighbours.
A real prepper never identifies his location, much less makes an online brochure about it.
I know nothing and live nowhere.
Nice! Created a LOT of jobs building that. Hopefully not all illegal alien jobs.
If the movie A Boy and His Dog is any indication then being a hot chick like Genevieve is not always a guarantee of survival.
"In the final shot, Vic and Blood are putting out a campfire near the steel dome. Having eaten, Blood feels better and he and Vic walk away from their campfire into the sunrise of dawn. Quilla is nowhere to be seen, but pieces of her wedding gown are seen strewn around the dying campfire. Vic and Blood talk about how Vic was touched by the fact that Quilla June picked him to be with instead of the dictatorship committee of Topeka. Blood remarks, "She had marvelous judgement... if not a particularly good taste (!)" The boy and his dog laugh at the pun and they both walk away "over the hill" toward paradise."
You missed a critical point Vic could only save Quilla or Blood.
"As Forbes reports, in a quiet valley in the Czech Republic, stand a complex surrounded by high walls, which is not visible at ground level and from the air appears to be nothing more than a boring administration center."
They've obviously taken great pains to keep the place concealed. Nobody will ever find it....unless of course they foolishly post pictures all over the internet along with aerial snapshots so that everyone knows exactly where it is and what's inside of it.
What kind of life is it spending the rest of your days sub terrain like worms and crickets?
.
No matter how big or elaborate the structure is, i would still feel suffocated.
Precisely.
La Catedral was a prison overlooking the city of Medellín in Colombia. The prison was built to specifications ordered by Medellín Cartel leader Pablo Escobar
The guy who builds these luxurious complexes has kept the access codes/back door codes. In case of shit-breaking-loose, the guy and his family will absolutely kick out the occupants. Seriously, what are the occupants going to do, call the police?
BTW, where is the dungeon layout?
Is it populated yet?

Honest Ann (my hero) doesn't stop by much, but you should all ask what she she done in prepping.
IMHO she's got it figured out.
Fortet about the billionaires - worry about what YOU and how your limited budget can get from here to there - $20k for 20 acres in E. WA state, not the best place but it's 20 acres to grow food and raise animals.
What you'll need is water, food, and shelter - after that, au, ag, & pb, good luck.
Plan C is see you all Micronesia or somewhere in the southern hemisphere.
You did print the maps to pdf's, right????
They are preparing, how about you?

from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,
from there I will bring them down.
3Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,
there I will hunt them down and seize them.
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent to bite them.
4Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword to slay them.
"They're gonna need more guards."
And maids. You don't expect the billionaire to clean his or her own toilet....do you?
My latest on TwoIceFloes. com - Seeking Calm in the Middle of Chaos
All I need to do to flush them out, is take a big shit down their air vent.
Game over, money boys scatter for skeet shooting practice, I move in and service all of their bitches while they cook me bacon and eggs for breakfast.
All in a day's hard work.
Life will be good rewarding those who deserve the good afterlife.
All I need to do to flush them out, is take a big shit down their air vent.
i was gonna say, everybody has got to breathe...no air under there...huge vulnerability...
I said it before on a different richprepper thread.
They're going to need guards, maids, chefs, nannies, sysadmins, the whole enchilada. These people do not cook their own meals, or make their own beds, or figure out why their fancy tablets say "Network Not Found." They expect other people to do the menial work for them.
And co-locating a bunch of these sociopaths together in the same complex is like putting a bunch of hand grenades next to a vat of gasoline.
Rats in a cage.
"A better use for the "bunker buster" armament, I know not of " Yoda
regarding air vents: six liters of algae water provide enough oxygen production and carbon dioxide absorbtion for the survival of one human.

"hand grenades next to a vat of gasoline"
Grenades and gas, the recipe for the immolation of all those German officers in "The Dirty Dozen".
A cave becomes a grave once you have its position.
And once all hell breaks loose on the surface and once any notion of law and order is extinguished on the world above, all those maids, nannies and armed guards down bellow, will not take matters in their own hands but keep serving the brats. The subtle point that they will be dead broke when it all comes crashing down is lost to them.These people are truly clueless the realities of a total breakdown.
It's consoling that they live in that much fear.
The only real problem is the fact that billionaires are hyper-competitive.
They can barely stand each other and as the Ackman/Icahn dispute shows the extreme animosity would probably break out into a shooting war if they didn't use their money to try and destroy each other.
The billionaires are clueless. I could write a whole article over how these luxury bunkers will turn into certain death traps for those who think they will be safe.
SOLD
TMZ reports that Buffet was the buyer. gonna put obamy into the servant's quarters. Him and Michy can do the toilets.
...and how long would it take before the assholes inside the bunker turn on one another? lol
Probably while they're all scrambling to get inside.
First come, first serve, everyone else gets treated as zombies.
The guys ( real men) who built it, have a plan. Bet on it.
Soon after an asshole like me on the surface welds the doors shut.
Hi nmewn:
Old adage to break in: "blind'em, burn'em, blast'em." They you are into the soft tasty goodness inside.

nmewn said: "They're gonna need more guards."
Precisely. And if the billionaires never make it to their shelters it won't matter ;-)
yep.....and even if they make it long enough to come to the surface there will be
Common Man........think about it....
No one gets out alive and karma is a bitch.
nmewn
No. Russian ATBIP (Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power) will take care of them

And what if bandits kidnap the family of one of those guards and threaten to kill them if he doesn't leave your northeast gate unlocked next Tuesday night?
You need something like a feudal manor, where all your vassals and peasants (formerly known as "guards" and "staff"), along with their families, live together in one big self-sufficient estate, with a priest telling them they'll go to Hell if they try to kick you out.
You need a self-sufficient village of several hundred people, spanning a wid range of skills and knowledge, because...
ultimate survival goes to those who REBUILD the fastest and biggest.
Not just skills, you need people you can trust, and who will trust you. Also known as "assabiya" or "social capital", and it's not something you can buy in a store or learn in school.
Enjoy that wine while you can billionaires.
Because your killing body guards become your killer.
It's a choice and your money doesn't matter once the nukes start detonating.
Your money becomes worthless at that point.
All about survival.
They shoot you, pompous billionaire, and they can survive 2x as long.
Where is the 10m reinforced concrete perimeter wall with barbed wire and automated machine gun sentries. All well and good being in a bunker but what happens when the mob overruns the compound and starts lobbing things down the air vents.
Quite seriously, these elites need to know beforehand that, if they are seen to have caused any kind of limited nuclear war or overly precipitous dollar crash, they will be held accountable. They will be dug up. It's their job now to see to it that there is no superpower war and, if the dollar has to crash, they do it in stages such as a 40% reduction in value, etc. Obviously, since they have a lot of hard assets, they already know they'd be in trouble with the American people even with a 40% dollar crash. They are not trying to preserve their wealth with all these petrodollar wars, they are trying to preserve their own lives probably.
I would rather be topside fighting zombies
Stock up on barbeque sauce. Hot and spicy will make the sub-humans taste good. Don't forget your vegetables and dairy. Breast milk will work.
Whew! Thank goodness for ketchup.
(Old Far Side cartoon with buzzards talking to eachother, picking at a carcass baking in the sun for some time.)
Thats all well and good, but what are they going to do when the chairs break ???
Probaly order up some Mexicans for $15/Hr to come in and fix it.
Mexican zombies.....doing the jobs American zombies don't want to do.
I can see it now, Mexican zombies doing yard work in a post apocalyptic world.
10 years underground with a sociopath you've got to be fucking shitting me
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy..
Redrum.
Air vents......it's all about the air vents.
Yup. You find the air vent, I'll fetch the welding gear.
I got first dibs on my own room - I'll clear the last occupants.
I call top bunk!
I can I still piss and shit down the vent before you weld it shut, right?
I encourage that! I'll make a nice batch of apocalypse bean burritos to fuel the flow.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Lol. That's just wrong wrong wrong in so many wonderfully right ways.
Quite the creative bunch we have on Z/H.
I find pinto beans add a zesty nostril burn when released in gaseous form.
Welding gear??? Go watch 'The Dirty Dozen' starring Lee Marvin.
Yes, I learned that lesson from the WWII classic movie, "The Dirty Dozen."
Start a brush fire and see where the smoke down vents. Then build a tire fire on that spot.
Love it, your one creative bastard.
They would have to have some type of air filtering system with access to change thier own filters and have a self clearing mechanism. That would probably become a problem on it's own eventually. Mustard and various other gases like low places, if zombies have any access to air shafts that could be a problem. So would the garbage unless they have a dumping system or catapult that goes through chambered stages (to prevent outside access). What is their heating fuel source? I would bet they would end up dead on their own or running topside eventually anyway.
This is in Swan Song. Let's just say it became a problem pretty quick.
It's not going to be the END, but it will probably be pretty bad. You still have time to prepare, and you too can make it through. Sure you might never need it, but better to have it and not need it and need it and not have it. Governments the wealthy are all preparing, you should too.
Also if you and your family can make it through, I truly believe things will better after it all works itself out.
"better to have it and not need it and need it and not have it."
That's the IridiumRebel family motto.
And, after the re-set, humankind will at last be free of cis-sexism, able-ism and microaggression.
Please put a trigger warning in front of your posts in the future. Thanks and Cisly yours.
Vaporware.
I actually agree with you Vivos is all hype and no substance. I actually went to check out one of their shelters in Kansas: http://www.terravivos.com/secure/kansas.htm A few years ago. It was like 5 miles away from Ft Leavenworth, a primary target. It wasn't only that, there was nothing there. The guys kept telling me how great it would be when it was all done, except there was nothing at all there, except a cave dug out by the army for storage years ago. I just needed to fork over the money and we could get it all started. One of my kids summed it up best "This is such a scam". Smart kid. Do it yourself or with or a group of people you trust, in secret, far away from any primary or secondary targets, it's the only way.
And if any shit really happens, it'll be nationalized and the billionaires will suddenly learn who's really in charge. (Answer: bigger billionaires and deep state government officials they've probably never heard of.)
I can just imagine having a mere $1-2B and being kicked out with your family, sitting by the side of the road with nothing as the apocalypse happens around you and Bill Clinton rolls up with a harem supplied by Jeffrey Epstein in tow to a warm welcome.
Now That everyone knows they are there, we will dig for food and booze when the end comes.
Death trap for billionaires
build more
Luxury coffin. FIFY
Soros first.
Rich Roach Motel: You can enter, but you'll never leave.
Seal the fuckers inside.
You can be sure they have an Escape Tunnel. Or two.
I'd design it, so that hydraulic gear would push the steel door and several feet of dirt, to expose the Exit to the outside world. Plus I'd have pop-up machine guns all over the place, to keep out all but the biggest foes.
damn, and I thought my two blow up dolls a case of beanie weenie and a wind up radio was over the top. did I say blow up dolls? I meant two hot underwear models, not guy models, I mean girl underwear models, portly girls but non the less, fuck it, I ain't got nothing but a swiss army knife and a national geographic magazine, I'm fucked
Will Soros be eating spam
I thought he subsisted strictly on the blood of virgins?
If spam is what's excreted out of Satan's ass........then yes.
lol. So all the communications and survival systems will be installed as the facility is being built out, per the owner occupants requests.
That means "Igor the dictator", next door to me decided to go cheap on his build-out and now my fridge doesn't work, and my bathroom fan is on the fritz.
P.S. Tell Igor to quit stealing my WiFi to download midget tranny porn.
It's ala carte, ya just got people wandering around in the place where they're gonna make their last stand...lol...taking a piss behind the drywall and skinning the insulation off wire yanking it through counduit.
I'm sure it'll all work out swell.
"Hey honey, what IS THAT SMELL? I dunno babe, the CCTV is on the fritz, don't bother me now. We could be under attack!" ;-)
The retards building that place might want to hire a good ship or aircraft building firm. They're clearly underfunded, and playing "Lincoln Logs" with peoples lives.
You dont dig a doomsday cavern in the ground and let everyone decide how to decorate the place.
paraphrasing The Yankee Prepper, being prepared means having fresh roasted coffee.
You weren't going through all those preps just to drink Sanka were you?
Didn't see gold spiking up, so can't be even remotly close to ww3.
A narcissistic fools tomb......
What he said^ ;-) All those pompous pricks would eat each other inside of 10 months, let alone 10 years.
LOL. This was worth it just for the laughs.
The people who buy these things are generally too stupid to survive past a social collapse. The warlord who seizes the Oppidum, however, will appreciate the investment made by his victims.
I saw a lot of measurements in there but nothing on the thickness of the concrete. You could get into anything pretty quick with mining equipment, heavy equipment or enough time. I am sure there is some heavy equipment around there somewhere.
Security guards and maintenance staff gets pissed off over something. The billionaires are brought above ground, each handed a can of baked beans (no can opener) and told hit the road.
The majority of the billionairs are white and/or jewish.
After 10 years do they really believe what's gonna be left of humanity is gonna accept a bunch of pale faces reasserting dominance?
Anyway, I doubt the likes of Soros, Buffet, Icahn and the like will be alive in another 10 years anyway, so what's the point.
It's just an underground Hotel, not Elysium... All those guys will be dust by then.
I still think the savages will eat each other long before the essentials run out.
Just pour concrete cement on top of the entrance. A bunker usually only have 4 entrances (it's against bunker philosophy to have many entrance opening. You want to limits access to YOUR SITE). No need to use BOMBS/DYNAMITES. Use concretes pour..
You want to know WHERE they are built? Ask for BUILDING PERMITS forms. IF you see they asked to bult structures in the middle of nowhere? Whalla...!!
DONE..!! (How fucking stupid, this kind of people really are).
Well , I suppose that will certainly take your mind off a global nuclear holocaust and the death of hundreds of millions of people. If you invested that much money into an awesome party bunker like that, I suppose it's something you would look forward to. "Hey guys party at my house when the ICBMs come raining down!", "John's party bunker is soooo much better than ours :( "
I looked at the plans and can't see where they are going to house all of the sex slaves. Did I miss that room or is it not on the plans?
Appreciate the floor plan layout and location,,, I'll be sure to put this (and the other locations from the show "DoomsDay Preppers") in my SHTF book so I can refer back to locations to infiltrate when the time comes.

Fussy pussy.
Oh ffs. Tyler, how often do you have to recycle this story? This is just a particularly sick form of real estate porn.
Yeah, yeah, the rich are different from us---they have more money and fewer scruples. That won't matter any more if and when they pull the nuclear trigger. The only people who'll stand a chance of surviving will be those deep underground and with a hundred years worth of food, potable water and energy, becuase nothing worth eating will grow in nuclear winter on cobalt-salted ground. Everyone else is doomed---and anybody who tells you you aren't is selling something.
That's not a shelter. That's an overpriced tomb.
You've been click baited. Please report to room 101.
Uh muh gawd, how would you EVEN survive end times with that puny wine cellar?
Bullshit story. Who will do maintenance for the physically worthless old billionaire POS? Who will grow their food? Take a staff of 50 to maintain with a shit load of energy and outside resources. You can have it, not interested....
These things are so goofy. Surgical facilities? They're going to have a surgical team living there with them? What a good plan. I bet less-wealthy people wouldn't think of that.
Reminds me of that scene in The Dirty Dozen where they dump gasoline down the ventilation shaft into the Nazi dinner party and then lock the front door.
Foof.
First thing I would do is WELD THE BLAST DOOR SHUT with a portable gasoline welder.
Scour the surrounding area for ventilation ducts. Use gasoline vaporizer at the entrance of one duct and ignite from a distance... Will act like a fuel/air bomb. Watch surrounding area for signs of overpressure to find the other ventilation ports. Repeat as necessary.
Cheap, easy and efficient to rid the world of the most obnoxious cockroaches and vermin.
.
Think for a second.. bombs start going off the rich rush to their jets and helicopters, they get to the Bunker, and find out the staff already have the door Bolted..
Just can't get good hired help any more....
It looks really nice until - it's the:
Occupy.Billionaire's.
Apocalypse.
Shelter.
Come On Down!If you are "serious" about seeing what the World looks like post-apocalypse, think along the lines of "repurposing" an LPG Road Tanker.
Test pressure on the vessels is around 25Bar (375 PSI) so they offer a reasonable degree of overpressure protection. The access hatch is through - bolted (so it may be secured from the inside), and the contents are volatile = less difficulties in cleaning out prior to occupation.
Drive into ravine, wedge in place (local materials), climb aboard, close the hatch and wait . . . . . .
I had the opportunity to look inside one some years ago, and I was struck by the overall spaciousness (they are BIG inside), along with the overall quality of finish. If time permits, put in a false floor, LED mood lighting, and the usual facilities and this could act as "home" for a reasonable period.
Fools and their money are soon separated. The old saying "Your daughter is only as safe as my daughter" still applies. Make the world a better place, 'cause there's no place to hide. Example: Saddam Hussein and the hole he crawled out of at the end.
Very true, I will be travelling the countryside ... with a tanker full of gasoline ... looking for these elitist mole people scum.
The breath stench will killl them all in 24 hours
Damn it! I knew I left a gas line connection loose somewhere.
the best shelter from any trouble is Jesus Christ
Czech .gov getting fools to crowd fund their bunker? Than it's actually pretty slick. Think your going to need gun racks installed in those empty art slots.
I thought Fallout was just a video game.
Behold, a true study on delusions of grandeur. It's not some schizo on the street mumbling to the insects in his beard, it's this.
The fake London Bridge is a ...ridiculous touch.
Yeah, I want to make my stand in a bunker built with Soviet-era concrete and unmotivated Czech slave labor then left to rot for 25 years. It's going to collapse like a souffle backstage at the rap concert.
More than likely, the billionaires are going to show up and find that it is still just a series of nice computer images and wonder where all their artwork and money went.
Meanwhile, over in Argentina...
tarabel, Do you know what the most beautiful part of a womans' body is?
It's not female intuition. It's not specific body parts.
This one is probably the decoy bug-out.
Once there is a full nuke attack all the money in the world doesn't matter.
Just a matter of survival. Your body guards see you as a liability.
Time for them to shoot you and use you as shark bait.
Rations last longer with you, the billionaire, not around.
A number of the bazillionaires live in the large cities. If SHTF, it would be comedy gold to videotape their Snake Plisskin imitations.
It's strange that the fancy promotional video has a music track that sounds like it came from an 80s porn flick.
can't wait to shoot that fucker and take over his compound. that would be sweet.
He'll come out of the bunker in a year or so and quickly die from the common cold because he won't have any natural antibodies left. For him, it will be like coming to a new planet, like the invaders in War of the Worlds.

The first thing you've got to do is check which way the big global winds generally flow, then make sure you're not downwind of North America or Europe.
I don't know which way they flow apart from the North/mid Atlantic trade winds but Chile on the map looks like a good place or maybe Argentina.
No no no, first you have a short entry corridor lined with automats and mouse mazes in order to keep wandering minions' stamina and alertness topped up while minimizing the more suspicious features like klaxons and vault doors.
http://evilbastard.org/slight/egplanner.php
the worst thing you can do for the effectiveness of your doomsday shelter is announce that it exists, and if you're a real masochist, where to find it...
"Hmmmm.... I see Seattle went up in smoke today... so sad - I'd wagered with Zbig - and my Mossad moles assured me - that San Franciso would be next...
Ah well... another bottle of 'Chateau Baron De Rothschild', while we snuggle up to watch the drone-footage, my dear?"
A terrestrial version of Elysium?
They had better figure out how to get this place into orbit if they hope to escape the zombie apocalypse.
Ancient miners tunneled through many meters of solid rock, to obtain ore containing copper, tin, gold, silver and other metals, using very primitive tools. Hence, I am very underwhelmed by "billionaire" concrete bunkers. If they have any sense at all they have already relocated to New Zealand without waiting for an SHTF event. That site in the Czech Republic is a security-nightmare or, looking at the bright side, a self-deploying billionaire tomb.
This is another similar shelter close to Prague, already buithttps://translate.google.com/translate?hl=cs&sl=cs&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fplzen.idnes.cz%2Fmajak-ptyc-stavba-tykac-trezor-dzu-%2Fplzen-zpravy.aspx%3Fc%3DA140909_110357_plzen-zpravy_pp
I haven't read all the comments, so it's hardly original, but a few conventional bunker-buster bombs and their lavish lifestyle goes the way of their paper assets.
And as I recall from my soldiering days, the Sovs believed in an NBC war: Nukes, Bio and Chemical. Everything. I doubt the modern Russian government has forgotten its military doctrines of the past. Breach those bunker's walls and what comes next may not be nuclear fire but something just as bad in the end.
The real problem will be if anyone is left alive afterward. when the REAL bad dudes who set it all off crawl out of their taxpayer supplied boltholes, they'll think themselves the secular versions of the Calvinist Elect and try to lord it over the survivors. 'Nuclear winter' aside, they better watch a scary old post-Apocolypse movie called "DEFCON 4" before they even think about it, as the survivors will probably have become as ruthless and cunning as the ones in the movie did.
This billionaire shelter idea is as stupid as it is preposterous.
In case of strategic nuclear exchange, the ICBM flight time is about 30 minutes or shorter, and that, from the moment the missiles are detected.I seriously doubt those roaches will be warned immediately and will live 30 minutes from their shelter.
In case of limited exchange, its singularly useless, especially in the future war-torn Europe.
Best version in case of strategic exchange, for very rich vermin; they get into their expensive tomb, seal the gates before nuclear impacts, then what?
How many months of fuel and food they have stored. six, ten...wow, a year.
Ok, either the fuel or food runs out, or the generator quits, or the armed guards decide to prolong their existence by getting rid of fat, useless pig that pays them in pre-war money.
Then, emerge into the brave new world , and nuclear winter.
This will work only IF strong AI is developed AND strong AI isn't malevolent or if it IS malevolent then it takes a fancy to the fact you are a sociopath like it and befriends you which is unfortunately rare for Billionaires.
I don't see a way that you can transition from our world of uber complexity to a world of basic survival and retain all your powers that are derived from the very complexity that just broke down.
Hope springs eternal though.
Hope and Change!
This could be the isolated castle in Edgar Allen Poe's "Masque of the Red Death."
Word.
The video on Manhattan's new One 57 luxury billionaire condos for sale assumes NYC is still going to be a high demand destination.
What they're not telling people is that when TSHTF the Fed, Wall St and DC will be broke with a devalued or rejected dollar and The NYC Fraud Machine will be out of business with genuine money taking it's place.
The financial fraud of NYC and it's delusional Big Government socialism it shares with CA will be a relic of a bygone corrupt era.
