Mark Zuckerberg’s Building A Huge Bunker On His 2,300-Acre Fortified Estate in Hawaii
But you don't need to spend $300M to protect what you've earned.

Happy Tuesday! Recently we’ve seen multiple media reports detailing a major expansion at Facebook founder and Tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s compound on Hawaii’s Kauaʻi island — including accommodations for about 100 guests and an extensive underground bunker. But what about the rest of us? — Anthony Collette | ![]() |
Zuckerberg’s 2,300-acre estate is more than just expansive. It’s fortified.
Koʻolau Ranch is a self-sustaining fortress, outfitted with its own water, food, and energy infrastructure. Permits and drone imagery reveal two massive mansions connected by underground tunnels, several guesthouses, a gym, a tennis court, and even disc-shaped treehouses suspended in the forest.
The centerpiece is a 5,000-square-foot underground bunker, complete with blast-resistant doors and a tunnel with a hidden escape hatch.
It’s understandable that Mark Zuckerberg wants to protect himself, his family, and his lifestyle.
But what about the rest of us?
Even an underground bunker twice the size of a typical U.S. home won't protect us from hacking or online fraud.
Far from doomsday scenarios, we’re more likely to experience a wire transfer stolen when putting a deposit on a home, or hackers stealing social security benefits, or Digital Kleptos™ stealing our bank accounts.
Instead of building a bunker, gaining cybersecurity expertise is a form of Wealth in itself, and it helps us protect (and keep) what we’ve earned.
Beyond simply being “rich,” what does it mean to possess Wealth?
In previous decades, Wealth was typically thought of as the tangible and intangible assets owned by an individual or family, minus whatever debt was required to build or acquire those assets. While still true today, there’s been a significant shift in thinking in recent years.
We associate the “rich” with:
➡ Luxury consumer brands
➡ Extravagant cars
➡ Sprawling estates
But all these can be misleading indicators, covering a vast sinkhole of debt.
Younger generations have a far more expansive view of Wealth, which includes:
☑ Physical, mental, and spiritual health
☑ Meaningful professional and personal relationships
☑ Freedom from stress
☑ Independence and flexibility
☑ Doing what makes you happy
☑ Building a legacy for those you love
☑ An abundance of what we truly value
Our modern society has radically shifted to an almost complete dependency on the Internet, as the World has become ever more interconnected. This dependence is understandable, considering the fantastic benefits the online revolution has delivered.
But there are people in the World who abuse that interconnectedness; criminals who attack our reliance on the Internet. Drained bank accounts, hospitals that turn away patients, cities that can’t provide services, court systems and police departments impacted — all because criminal hackers attacked vulnerable systems.
This is the underside of our modern dependence on the Internet.
The simple truth is this: there are people in the World who are thrilled to steal, hack and attack from a safe distance, over the Internet, from locations which render them immune to prosecution — Digital Kleptomaniacs™.
This means it’s up to us, individually, to protect what we’ve earned.
There’s no thundering cavalry on horseback galloping over the hill to save us. We are the cavalry.
The ability to safeguard yourself personally on the Internet — Cybersecurity Savvy — is not evenly distributed in the general public or among business people.
Many of us are living below the cybersecurity poverty line, and don’t even know it.
Are you among the “haves” or the “have nots”?
Is this particular knowledge something you possess?
If not, is it worth acquiring?
☑ You have the power to make yourself safer online.
☑ You can become Brilliant At The Basics Of Cybersecurity.
☑ You can create a rock-solid foundation in this new area of expertise, and build up from there.
These modern concerns are real.
But so is the opportunity to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you’ve learned what you can, and done all you can, to make yourself safer online.
You deserve to keep what you’ve earned.
