Mark Zuckerberg addresses rumors of a large-scale bunker on his Hawaii property, calling it a 'little shelter' and clarifying that it is a basic basement with hurricane provisions.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has finally broken his silence on the 'Doomsday bunker' that many claim he is building underneath his $270million Hawaii mansion. Zuckerberg , 40, has long been rumoured to have been building a 5,000-sq. ft. bunker underneath his 1,400-acre compound on the island of Kauai, one of the most northern islands in the Northern Pacific archipelago.
Asked by Bloomberg's Emily Chang whether he had a bunker under his lush homestead, Zuckerberg said: 'No, I think that's just like a little shelter. It's like a basement. 'We have the basic house that we built, and we built an office out there because I work out of there. There's a bunch of storage space, whatever you want to call it, a hurricane shelter or whatever. 'I think it got blown out of proportion as if the whole ranch was some kind of Doomsday bunker, which is just not true.' According to documents obtained by Wired, the Hawaii compound, which is large enough to fit 1,060 American football fields, will be completely self-sufficient with its own food, energy and water supplies. Plans showed that the underground bunker has a floor space of 5,000-sq. ft., and has a living space, a mechanical room and an escape hatch that can be accessed via a ladder. There is also said to be a blastproof door made from concrete and metal. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has finally broken his silence on the 'Doomsday bunker' that many claim he is building.
