Inside the luxurious underground bunkers where the rich bug out
Apr 04, 2020 1 min, 36 secs

When the going gets tough, the rich get going … to luxurious underground bunkers.

Helicopters are on standby “if that moment comes,” says one bunker specialist, to whisk elites into subterranean palaces with below-ground swimming pools, tennis courts and gourmet food rations in spaces you’d never know were originally designed for the military, both American and Soviet.

If you’re not in the 1 percent, no problem, there are modest bunkers available, as well, and even some reasonably-priced getaways above ground.

Real estate salesman Robert Vicino is literally sitting pretty when it comes to his business — selling underground bunkers from the Black Hills of South Dakota to a remote underground city in Rothenstein, Germany.

Unlike the millennial owner of a Manhattan startup who had to pull the plug on his luxe, mask-free spa last week, Vicino says business is booming in what survivalists call the “bug-out” business.

His company, Vivos, also sells bunkers in Indiana and is planning new bunkers in Asia and Marbella, Spain?

He said sales are up 400% this year although his cheaper properties (35,000 euros for a big bunker in South Dakota) are selling faster than the 2 million euros, five-star Vivos Europa One underground apartments carved into a German mountain, part of a facility originally used by the Soviets to store munitions in case they invaded western Europe.

People who don’t want anything as depressing as a bunker are burning up the phone lines of people like Curt Eilers, an Iowa real estate broker who owns three survivalist properties himself in California.

He says people are searching for off-the-grid homes all over the country, some in places like Kentucky and Arkansas with up to 50 acres of land for less than $130,000.
