Meta CEO: Zuckerberg claims to be spending 260 crores building a lavish underground bunker spanning 1400 acres

According to a report by News.com AU, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is building a huge underground bunker. It will be a part of a huge luxury estate that the billionaire is building on the remote island of Kauai in Hawaii.

The outlet further said that Zuckerberg has been quietly planning the fortified building for at least a decade and that he is going to spend $260 million on it. Although Zuckerberg has not said anything about the bunker yet. Anyone else working on his property is also not speaking about it due to a strict gag order.

Wired spoke to some construction workers who worked there and they said several of their colleagues were removed from the project after posting about it on social media.

One of the workers said, "This is Fight Club. We don't talk about Fight Club. Anything posted here, they get wind of it immediately." Wired has not made the worker's identity public.

Another worker said strict measures are taken to maintain confidentiality and workers are not even allowed to take photographs at the site. The outlet said Zuckerberg bought the land in a series of deals starting in August 2014. They posted some pictures of the family from there when they went on a vacation to Hawaii during Christmas in 2016.

According to the Wired article, the estate covers 1,400 acres or 61 million square feet. An area of 5,000 square feet is being used for the construction of the underground bunker. It will be self-sufficient in food and energy. With a population of 73,000, Kauai has served as the backdrop for numerous Hollywood productions. These consist of Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean.

The majority of people living on Kauai are descended from Native Hawaiians, according to the New York Post. The descendants of immigrants from China, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines who came to work on the sugar cane plantations in the late 19th century also reside here.
