The luxury bunker builder Ron Hubbard has claimed that Bill Gates owns 11 doomsday bunkers, amid revelations that elites are prepping for apocalypse scenarios. In a viral video posted on X by the account HustleBitch, Hubbard of Atlas Survival Shelters named Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, the Kardashians, and Andrew and Tristan Tate as clients building underground shelters.
The video, which surfaced in early March 2026, has sparked widespread speculation about whether the ultra-wealthy are bracing for civil unrest, nuclear threats, or climate catastrophes. Hardly a surprise, given recent global tensions.
The trend of billionaires investing in high-tech survival shelters has accelerated since the pandemic, with companies reporting sharp rises in demand. Firms like Rising S Company and Vivos specialise in convertingmissile silosinto upscale underground complexes, complete with amenities such as swimming pools, cinemas, and simulated natural light.
These are far from basic hideouts; they cater to long-term stays, addressing psychological needs as well as physical safety. Reports indicate thatsuper-richindividuals are driven by fears of societal collapse, extreme weather, and pandemics that could disrupt supply chains.
In 2025, bunker sales surged, with some builders noting a700% increasein upscale orders from celebrities and CEOs. New Zealand and Hawaii have become popular locations for such projects, offering remoteness and self-sufficiency.
Hubbard's video detailed specific clients, stating thatBill Gates has 11 bunkers, while Mark Zuckerberg has invested in a massive underground facility. The Kardashians were also mentioned, alongside the Tate brothers, who reportedly connected six units into a sprawling compound.
'Wealthy people are not cutting any corners,' Hubbard said, describing hidden entrances behind secret doors in mansions. He noted that when he started in 2011, the perceived risk of civil war or World War III was just 1%.

Other sources echo this, with Reid Hoffman revealing that 'more than 50%of Silicon Valley billionaires have bought some form of apocalypse insurance'. Peter Thiel and Sam Altman have similarly pursued remote properties with protective structures, reflecting a broader elite shift toward self-preservation.
These fortifications come with hefty price tags and advanced features. The Tate brothers' six-bunker setup reportedly cost £2.9 million ($3.9 million), with each unit larger than a New York apartment and equipped for extended isolation.
