Billionaire Bunkers: The Great Escape From Doomsday

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

However, experts highlight a fatal flaw in this strategy, noting that once money becomes worthless in a post-collapse world, billionaires may struggle to maintain the loyalty of their private security forces, leaving them vulnerable to internal coups.
