THE WORLD’S richest people have long been preparing for the apocalypse.
Everyone probably has some fears over the world ending, but unlike the mega-rich, most of us can’t do much to evade it.

Using immense amounts of wealth, members of the world’s elite have been building shelters and spaceships to escape from the apocalypse.
Luxury bunkers
One wealthy person, J.C. Cole told the New York Post that he founded Safe Haven Farms in order to escape from natural disasters.
Safe Haven is a maximum security estate for the rich to hide out from pandemics or nuclear war.
The price for admission into this luxury safe haven, which has two undisclosed locations, is a cool $3 million investment.
“The majority of Americans do not have an insurance policy by their choice,” Cole told The Post.
“If [or] when the supply chain collapses, these people will not have food. A certain percentage of them will break the law and do whatever possible to get food. Therefore we want to remain not findable.”
Luxury yachts
While some rich people are planning to stay safe in luxury land bunkers, others are taking to the sea to hide out.

And there is no better way to sail the seas than in a massive luxury yacht.
These vessels can range anywhere from 120 feet to over 300 feet and come equipped with an insane amount of amenities.
In 2021, 887 superyachts were sold globally, which is a 77% increase from the previous year, the Post noted.
One person who invested in not one, but two such yachts is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Get citizenship in another country
Google co-founder Larry Page obtained his New Zealand citizenship in 2021.
New Zealand was one of the least impacted countries when COVID-19 was running rampant.
And now, it’s becoming one of the most sought-after places to live for wealthy individuals.
But even before then, Page mentioned that he and his buddy Peter Theil, who co-founded PayPal, would escape to Theil’s private compound there should society ever collapse.
Spaceship
If Earth is so far on the brink of a catastrophe that one is neither safe on land nor sea, then only one option remains: Head to space.
Billionaire Elon Musk has long been vocal about migrating to places like Mars to save humanity.
And it stands to reason that he would use one of his SpaceX rockets to launch out of Earth should the world begin ending.
Billionaire Jeff Bezos also has his own version of SpaceX called Blue Origin.
