Plans unveiled for Mark Zuckerberg’s huge $260M hidden bunker on secluded island

Plans have reportedly been unveiled for Mark Zuckerberg's massive hidden bunker on a secluded Hawaiian island.

Last year, Facebook's founder started construction on the mansion in Hawaii - but that didn't come without controversy.

Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, purchased 110 acres of a former sugar plantation on Kauai, Hawaii's oldest island, back in 2021.

The purchase led Hawaiian advocacy groups to argue that the estate is part of a wider trend of wealthy people depriving Hawaiians of their land by buying it up.

A spokesperson for the Meta founder has denied that families were being 'forced out', adding that the couple had 'made commitments to Kauai charitable organizations that help to improve the island's education and health care systems, promote conservation and help to promote efforts to recover from flooding and Covid-19'.

"Under their care, less than one percent of the overall land is developed with the vast majority dedicated to farming, ranching, conservation, open spaces and wildlife preservation." they said.

"This includes a large cattle ranching program, organic ginger and turmeric farms, a nursery dedicated to native plant restoration, and partnering with Kauai's foremost wildlife conservation experts to protect native birds and other endangered or threatened wildlife populations."

Zuckerberg has since pushed on with his plans to develop his plot of land - with the estate reportedly costing a whopping $260 million.

So, what exactly is he doing with his land?

Well, an 2023 investigation by Wired uncovered details about what Zuckerberg has planned for the estate.

"[The] compound consists of more than a dozen buildings with at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms in total,” the report claimed about the mansion estate.

It is said to be centred around two main mansions 'with a total floor area comparable to a professional football field' and will also reportedly contain multiple elevators, offices, conference rooms, and an industrial-sized kitchen.

"In a nearby wooded area, a web of 11 disk-shaped tree houses are planned, which will be connected by intricate rope bridges, allowing visitors to cross from one building to the next while staying among the treetops." the publication continues to say.

“A building on the other side of the main mansions will include a full-size gym, pools, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, and tennis court. The property is dotted with other guesthouses and operations buildings.”

While that sounds all rather impressive, the most talked about feature will be out of view.

"The plans show that the two central mansions will be joined by a tunnel that branches off into a 5,000 square foot [464 square metres] underground shelter, featuring living space, a mechanical room, and an escape hatch that can be accessed via a ladder," the report states.

The bunker will be made of metal and 'filled in with concrete' to soundproof it.

It is also said to be entirely self-sustainable - with Wired claiming that it is able to produce its own food and water due to water tanks and farming land across the estate.
