Are they paranoid, just being prepared, or do they know something others don’t? At least two members of President Trump’s Cabinet have reportedly recently ordered two underground bombproof bunkers from Atlas Survival Shelters, touted as the “World’s #1 Bunker Builder,” and run by owner Ron Hubbard — no connection to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
“One of them texted me yesterday, asking me, ‘When will my bunker be ready,’” he told The Telegraph. Hubbard says enquiries have jumped “tenfold” since the Iran war was launched. Two new billionaire clients are from Dubai, which has been a big target of Iranian missiles and drone attacks.
His company has so far averaged $2 million a month in sales for 2026, but Hubbard predicts that sales could jump to as much as $50 million next month.
And while Hubbard also claims to have built shelters for several of the richest men on the planet, he refuses to name his wealthiest customers, except for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
He says he helped design a bunker for Zuck under his Hawaii ranch beginning in 2023. News about Zuckerberg’s bunker, he added, “caused a buying frenzy.” In the last 12 months, he says, several leading tech moguls have reached out to him about bunkers.

But it isn’t just politicos with insider intelligence and billionaires buying bunkers.
The majority of his buyers, according to Hubbard, are “Christian, conservative CEOs,” many of whom he met in 2025 at a conference at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club and Florida home, where he promoted his doomsday solutions. Hubbard says of them: “Good families, educated… The future is uncertain and they want to feel safe.”
The company’s bunkers can protect customers from drone attacks to nuclear war, and calamities in between, with “an aesthetic combining a submarine and a Bond-villain lair.
According to Atlas Survival Shelter‘s website:
We produce a wide range of survival shelters designed to safeguard you and your family in the event of a pandemic outbreak, civil unrest, malicious mobs, and threats such as biological, nuclear fallout, or EMP attacks originating from either domestic or international sources.
While some of its simple, small precast “boltholes” can cost as little as $20,000, its bigger underground shelter options range in price from $200,000 to $5 million. Some of the most expensive offerings are also the fanciest, with practically every amenity imaginable, including mud rooms, swimming pools, cinemas, armories, and gun ranges.
Some of the more extravagant ones are built like modern castles, with complex security and defensive features. As Futurism reported:
President and founder of Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments Al Corbi told THR about one of his firm’s most ambitious shelters, a veritable fortress which is only accessible via a moveable bridge. And here’s why: the entire compound is encircled by an enormous moat filled with flammable liquid “that can transform into a ring of fire” on demand.
To balance that out, there’s also powerful water cannons “that can take down parachuters, Apache helicopters, whatever’s coming your way 500 feet in the air,” Corbi added. If those aren’t good enough, there’s flamethrowers, closing steel walls, and a gassing system. Leaving nothing to waste, the dirt excavated to build the moat was used to form a manmade mountain as additional fortification.
Other clients like to trick out their mansions with state-of-the-art doors and hidden corridors. An engineer at Creative Home Engineering told THR of a decidedly James Bond villain-esque estate that featured a rotating fireplace as the secret entrance to an underground lair. Once you navigate the giant staircase it leads to, you can reach an enormous vehicle garage, a phone booth that lets you disappear, and a flight simulator. Elsewhere, there’s also a dedicated security room and — to amp up the villainous vibes — a shark tank.
According to Corbi, many clients like to throw in tunnels that lead to another backup shelter as a precaution. And to survive the long haul, some even install mini-medical centers that come with operating tables and “every drug imaginable.”
Still, while impressive and super secure, even these fortified bunkers can’t protect you from everything, like a close strike by a nuclear warhead or other target attacks.
The Telegraph notes:
Discussing scenarios where an Atlas bunker could fail, he concedes that one of his shelters probably wouldn’t have been enough to protect “the most evil man in the world” who he says is the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “No bunker in the world is designed to withstand a bunker buster from an American bomber. I’m sorry you just can’t make a bunker strong enough”, he says.

The billionaires are not installing their own bunkers. In ancient Egypt, the workers were sacrificed so they could not tell of the locations and protections. Today the guy on the bulldozer and the electricians know. Guess who’s coming to dinner?
