 Facebook founder is creating a compound which also features a doomsday bunker. The compound is located on the Hawaiian island of Kawe. Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is working on a massive $100 million compound in Hawaii and it's not your usual fancy mansion. This place called Kula Ranch seems to be a secret project with an underground bunker and its own food and energy supply. Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is working on a massive compound in Hawaii. That's supposed to be over a hundred million dollars well well over and it's not your usual fancy mansion. This place called Kula Ranch seems to be a secret project with an underground bunker and its own food and energy supplies. It's becoming one of the priciest personal construction projects ever. Can you guess how much the price tag is actually estimated to be? We'll talk more about that later in this video and see if your answer was right. The Zucks compound on Kawe Island will have over a dozen buildings including two big mansions connected by a tunnel. The tunnel leads to a huge 5,000 square foot underground shelter with an escape hatch reachable by a ladder. Has anyone watched Lost? Because that's what this is sounding like to me. According to the plans there'll be at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms plus guest houses and a group of 11 tree houses connected by rope bridges.

Would love to connect with you guys on there. At the very heart of the tech universe, one name specifically resonates with power, Mark Zuckerberg. The founder and CEO of Facebook, this coding wiz has not only shaped the digital landscape but also made a massive mark in the analog world and a massed insane success along the way. Mark married his college sweetheart and pediatrician Priscilla Chan. Their love story, born in the halls of Harvard, has flourished into a beautiful family unit where they have two daughters, Maxima and August. The tech mogul often shares glimpses of their family life on social media, revealing a more intimate side of the man who rewired the way we connect. However, it's not just the digital round that Mark leaves a footprint. His real estate portfolio reads like a chapter from a real life fairy tale and now topping the list is the Kauai compound, a project on Hawaii's Kauai Island and it's not your average billionaire's retreat. But the Zuckerberg real estate saga doesn't stop there. The family also owns homes in Palo Alto, California, which is more for their day to day lives and today we'll be checking out that spot too. In a Kauai part of Kauai, Kauai, a big construction project is happening. It is Mark Zuckerberg's deal, but it's super hush hush. Behind a tall wall, away from the road, workers are busy, security guards, keep watch and trucks go in and out with their supplies. People working there can't talk about it. There are very strict rules. Some even got in trouble for sharing stuff on social media, but can you be surprised? The project is massive, covering a big chunk of the island. It includes a huge underground shelter, its own power and food and costs estimated over $270 million. But getting it done involves some tricky legal stuff and political connections. Maybe not always thinking about what the locals want either. Meanwhile, Zuck and his wife are building one of the fanciest properties globally. This colossal undertaking is full of secrecy, but the identity of the mastermind behind it all is an open secret. Mark Zuckerberg quietly acquired the Hawaiian land through a series of transactions starting in August 2014. Insights from interviews with project affiliates, combined with public records and court documents obtained by news source Wired, cured a story of planning and construction spanning the expansive 1,400 acre Kula Ranch. Planning documents show the Zuck's future compound will have a 5,000 square foot underground shelter, as well as self-sufficient energy and food supplies. While some of this building seems to go against certain local interests, Mark and his wife Priscilla Chan forge ahead with the development of this huge property. Kauai, the oldest and smallest of the Hawaiian islands, is a close-knit community of around 73,000 people, with a diverse heritage including native Hawaiians and migrants from China, Japan, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, the US mainland, and other Pacific islands. The construction site linked to Mark on the secluded North Shore has become legendary, due to strict NDAs preventing workers from speaking about it. In a place where everyone knows each other, the compound's mystique has given rise to a ton of local rumors. It's been suggested that Zuck's property could be anything from an underground city to a post-apocalyptic bunker, while reality doesn't quite match. The gods have detailed plans to reveal a massive compound with over a dozen buildings, including two mansions with a total floor area comparable to a football field at 57,000 square feet. The buildings boast a collective count of at least 30 beds and 30 baths, and the mansions house various amenities, including multiple elevators, offices, conference rooms, and an industrial-sized kitchen. Adjacent to this, a wooded area will soon host a network of 11 disc shaped tree houses connected by elaborate rope bridges offering visitors an aerial journey from one structure to another. On the opposite side of the main mansions, another building is set to feature a full-size gym, pools, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, and tennis court. Throughout the property, additional guest houses and operational structures are strategically placed. The project's substantial skill empies it's more than a personal retreat. Mark has already used the compound for two corporate events. The proposed plans unveil a connecting tunnel between the two central mansions, leading to the 5,000 square foot underground shelter. This shelter, encompassing living space, mechanical room, and an escape hatch accessible via ladder, is set up with an extensive surveillance system, including over 20 security cameras. Many doors within the compound are slated to be keypad operated or soundproof wall others, like those in the library are turned line doors, mimicking the surrounding walls. Notably, the underground shelter door will be constructed from metal and filled with concrete. A design commonly found in bunkers and bomb shelters. The compound aims for self-sufficiency, boasting a large water tank and diverse agricultural operations across its 1,400 acres. While Mark Zuckerberg's spokesperson declined to comment on specific details, he estimated costs of the project, including construction and land purchases, exceeds $270 million. Were you guys close with your guess? Well, this makes it one of the most expensive private construction projects in history. Currently, Mark Zuckerberg has a real-estate portfolio valued at a staggering $320 million, or more now with the inclusion of the wide property. His empire is spread across prime locations in Palo Alto, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, and more, with over 10 homes. Zuckerberg's property in Palo Alto, California spans at least 1.83 acres, equivalent to about half a city block. The tech magnate invested in the hefty $50.8 million in these lots adorned with redwood, magnolia, and ginkgo trees, featuring spacious front yards. Combined, the estate boasts nearly 20,000 square feet as well as 15 bedrooms and over 16 bathrooms according to property records. The Zuc had significantly transformed the initial $7 million Palo Alto residence, which he bought back in 2011 into an expansive estate which involved buying up four neighboring properties at a combined $30 million. Aerial photos revealed that three of the four properties are seamlessly connected to the main family home. The main residence, a historic colonial revival-clapboard-sided home, is made up of 5,600 square feet with five beds and five baths. The wood floor dwelling holds a unique status as the oldest home in Palo Alto, and certain parts of the wood frame structure date back to the 1860s. Today, the mansion boasts an array of luxury features like a saltwater pool, a sunroom, an entertainment pavilion, a fireplace, a barbecue area, a spa, and front and back porches. Among the quirky additions is the Facebook Canada creation by Zuff that launches great t-shirts and an AI assistant with the voice of Morgan Freeman. Additionally, Mark uses the other four homes on the property as guest houses and recreational facilities, as he revealed in an architectural review board meeting. After looking at Mark Zuckerberg's crazy plans for his Hawaii compounds or bunker as well as his home in California, that is going to bring today's house tour to a close. Before we wrap things up, answer this question for me. If you were to build a compound or bunker somewhere anywhere in the world, where would you be hiding out? I don't know, but I want to be somewhere away from, like, natural disasters.
