Inside billionaire bunker with ‘ring of fire’ moat and cannons

A bunker for the super-rich is being built and includes a “ring of fire” moat, cannons, and an “ultra-secure” gated entrance.

Across the news, reports of conflict around the world, climate change, and possible nuclear attacks have made people eager to get themselves prepared for a potential doomsday.

For billionaires, this has quickly become a priority – but instead of learning how to preserve food and create an escape route, the ultra-rich are exploring options for luxurious bunkers – including fire-breathing moats.

With construction underway, the homes will also contain a fort and electrical fencing, as well as powerful water cannons to warn off any intruders from 500ft away.

The unique bunker aims to protect assets and anyone inside from the outside world – and the construction company claims the shelter can withstand a blast “one mile from ground zero”.

To access the home, there’s a swing bridge that covers the 30ft deep moat that surrounds the compound, that can be used on non-attack days for jet skis and paddle boards.

Inside the fort, there’s a tunnel armed with flame throwers and gassing systems, that leads through to a steel-shut entrance gate.Fishermen catch rare 9ft 4ins ‘harbinger of doom’ oarfish and put it in museum

The company, SAFE, also known as strategically armoured and fortified environments, specialise in creating custom and secure designs for those with a healthy bank balance.

While the project is still under construction, with over 80% complete, there’s still lots of work to do – and it’s cost millions so far.

In one virtual clip, shared by SAFE, the site can be seen from the outside, with its high fort and drive-through steel gated entrance.

The car then drives up to the gate, and on the way passes cameras, high-intensity light flashes, and retractable bollards.

There’s a communication system to get in and high-voltage electrical fencing on top of the fort.

In another clip, the virtual video shows what it will be like once passing the steel gate, with a long driveway leading to the moat.

There is then the swing bridge, which turns to take you onto the other side of the water.

As well as the perimeter retaining walls, there is also thorn vegetation and water cannons on the other side of the moat.

But keeping safe will cost you – so much so, that there’s no specific pricing available online and the company suggests enquiring directly for an estimate on the most desirable bunker on the market.
