Doomsday prepping has been around since prehistoric mammalian creatures stuffed some extra nuts into a tree to survive the winterā¦
Humans and ESPECIALLY American humans became particularly fond planning for the end of the world during the Cold War when nuclear Armageddon was a very real possibility.
Ever since, it has become something of a utilitarian hobby for millions of people spawning a multi-BILLION dollar industry selling bunkers, ration kits, bug out bags and hunting supplies.
The demand has grown so quickly that top of the line air filtration systems have become collectorsā items because there simply arenāt enough for everybody who wants them.
What is interesting (or maybe a little bit concerning) is the particular group that is planning for the end of the world in higher numbers than basically anybody elseā¦ billionairesā¦
In a game of Survival of the richest, people like Zuckerberg, Peter Theil, Sam Altman and the former CEO of Reddit have all reportedly invested tens of millions of dollars in lavish accommodation to wait out the end timesā¦
These are just the ones we know about, in a game where discretion is obviously a big advantage.
So why the fuck has there been such a boom in doomsday bunkers for billionaires? And is this allā¦ justā¦ really stupidā¦ ?
Well itās time to learn How Money Works to find out why some of the world's wealthiest peopleā¦ are actually looking forward to the end of the world as they know it.
