The world's wealthiest individuals are increasingly turning to luxury bunkers as their ultimate safety net.
Withstand Apocalyptic Scenarios
These bunkers, designed to withstand apocalyptic scenarios, are equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities and entertainment options that rival those found in the White House, according to a report from Ziare.
Al Corbi, founder of the U.S.-based SAFE company, notes that this trend, which began during the Cold War, has seen significant growth in recent years.
Corbi emphasizes that while these bunkers can cost up to $100 million, they are worthless without long-term medical care capabilities, which are crucial in the event of a nuclear catastrophe:
“Imagine a worst-case scenario—a nuclear holocaust where everything is wiped out. This bunker then becomes your new home, at least for the foreseeable future,” he explained.
An Influx in Demand
While safety and health are paramount, there is also a growing demand for entertainment in these bunkers. Corbi highlights the opulence of these facilities, noting that some include private cinemas with entertainment libraries larger than those found in most commercial centers.
These luxury bunkers are designed for dual purposes, with escape tunnels repurposed as go-kart tracks and protective moats used for jet-skiing.
Naomi Corbi, Al’s wife and the coordinator of the health section of the business, mentioned that the bunkers come equipped with advanced medical systems.
“We provide the tools and education. There are systems where, if they’re alone, they can click a button that guides them through a training process,” she said.
SAFE is planning to expand these bunkers globally, with plans to establish hubs in major cities like London. While luxury bunkers grab headlines, there’s also a growing market for more affordable options.
“We’re seeing a definite influx in demand for more accessible security solutions,” Naomi Corbi concluded, underscoring that not all projects have to come with a hefty price tag.
