The two influencers, accused of rape and human trafficking in Romania and the United Kingdom, have reportedly commissioned a ten-bedroom bunker, complete with separate living spaces and a recreation room with a stripper pole.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the accusations the two brothers face, Hubbard praised Tristan Tate for The Times. His brother Andrew, on the other hand, is \u201cin his own world. He is OG [Original Gangster]. You can\u2019t talk to OG,\u201d the Texas entrepreneur said.<\/p>\n<p>The two brothers are not the only customers of Hubbard\u2019s company, Atlas Survival Shelters. For billionaires and influencers, bunkers have become a new type of luxury collectible.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bunkers are no joke. Some are equipped with gas-resistant, steel-reinforced doors, filtration systems, escape hatches, solar panels, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Demand for bunkers increased after the pandemic and Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, but also after the US strikes against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNews scares people,\u201d says Hubbard. \u201cIf Trump makes peace with Putin and Putin aligns, it\u2019s bad for business, but it\u2019s good for the world,\u201d the entrepreneur explained.<\/p>\n<p>Atlas now builds about 300 bunkers a year at its factory in Sulphur Springs, Texas, the largest facility dedicated to nuclear shelters on Earth. Hubbard has 50 full-time workers who cut and weld modular steel frames, then outfit them with plumbing, electricity, beds, flooring, and air-conditioning systems.<\/p>\n<p>The bunkers range from USD 20,000 steel capsules to custom concrete complexes costing more than USD 5 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hubbard is willing to talk about certain clients who have made their purchases public. In 2023, he designed a 186-square-meter shelter for Mark Zuckerberg, worth USD 270 million, at his Hawaii property.<\/p>\n<p>The Meta owner is not an outlier. An\u00a02023 survey estimated that Americans spent USD 11 billion on doomsday preparations in a single year. Nearly one in three respondents reported having made an apocalyptic plan.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"mailto:radu@romania-insider.com\">radu@romania-insider.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo source: LCVA | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/\">Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Controversial internet personalities Andrew and Tristan Tate are building a USD 3.9 million underground complex in Bucharest, according to the contractor, Ron Hubbard, a well-known bunker builder, as quoted by\u00a0The Times.
