"An opulent $300 million doomsday bunker complex, to protect ultrarich clients from disasters, has been unveiled by protective design specialists.

Set to open in 2026, a Virginia-based company called Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments (SAFE) says the bunkers will house 625 people, at up to $20 million per “project Aerie” unit.

Newsweek has reached out to SAFE outside of normal working hours via email for comment.

Why It Matters The vast majority of U.S. citizens do not have access to a nuclear fallout bunker or the means to build one. Relatively few people will be allowed into Government bunkers, which are intended for continuity of government operations. Billionaire wealth surged by $2 trillion in 2024—equivalent to $5.7 billion per day—as global inequality reached unprecedented levels, according to a report from Oxfam International.

What To Know The Aerie project, which is named after the resting place for birds of prey, will offer a network of luxurious residential bunkers across 50 U.S. cities, with 1,000 affiliate locations planned worldwide.

According to their website the facilities will “provide robust defense against the most severe threats, including nuclear fallout and electromagnetic pulses.”

The company has been commended for their creation of many different kinds of bunkers, including one which came complete with a Formula 1 track. "
