According to the secret information, this building is the one in which he attempted to conceal his doomsday preparations.

According to a Wired investigation, based on property records and interviews with contractors, Mark Zuckerberg plans to integrate Kauai, the oldest island in Hawaii, into his Koolau Ranch property on the northeastern shore.

He was supposed to buy 110 acres of a former sugar plantation on the island in 2021.  Instead, the billionaire couple purchased a 1,300-acre, $100 million luxury estate.

One of the biggest personal construction projects in history, his $270 million project, will be completed.

As reported by Wired, the compound on Kauai Island will consist of more than a dozen buildings, which total 57,000 square feet. Two mansions are connected, which leads to a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter featuring an escape hatch that can be accessed by a ladder.

Documents reveal that the opulent residences will include 30 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, conference rooms, an industrial kitchen, and multiple elevators.

Additionally, the home features guest houses, a gym, a sauna, several swimming pools, a hot tub, a cold plunge pool, and a tennis court.

The home is equipped with a bunker featuring soundproof doors made of metal and concrete, which leads to the use of concrete to safeguard against potential threats, including bombs.

In particular,  Zuckerberg and his fortunate guests need not concern themselves with leaving the compound, as it boasts food and water sources along with every conceivable amenity.
