Contained in the WW3 doomsday bunkers built for billionaires – and business is soaring | News World

‘That is the largest spike in bomb shelter requests I actually have ever had,’ Ron Hubbard says.

The Texan has been working non-stop to fill the orders for his company Atlas Shelters, receiving nearly 500 during the last week alone.

And his bunkers aren’t your tin pot Morrison Shelter type seen in back gardens during World War Two.

These are built below ground or as extensions to people’s homes, using reinforced steel and cement.

And quite handily, they double up as cinema rooms and wine cellars.

Requests come from all around the world, but around 90% of probably the most recent batch are based within the Middle East.

Thankfully for Ron, 63, he opened his latest factory in Dubai just two days before the US and Israel’s Operation Epic Fury in Iran.

Ron told Metro: ‘Just 48 hours after I declared myself open for business there on February 26, the bombs began flying.’

Most orders are from people living in Dubai and Qatar, with many coming from British expats.

He has various branches around the globe, including in Poland where Russia’s invasion of Ukraine saw an enormous surge in requests.

Ron said: ‘We’ve had 4 spikes since business began: The Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7 and now the Iran war, which is the largest surge we have now ever seen.’

Atlas Shelters began in 2011 after Ron decided he wanted to construct his own bunker on his property.

But he was unsatisfied with what was on offer, so decided to crack on and design his own.

‘The vital thing we do is make them usable during peacetime,’ he said.

A lot of his designs double as guest bedrooms, cinema rooms and wine cellars so the space shouldn’t be wasted before armageddon truly begins.

Additionally they include gun partitions, decontamination showers and Texan flag bedding, with 45 plans on offer.

They’ll range from basements below barns, to large underground compounds underneath large, vibrant mansions seen across America.

Certainly one of his most up-to-date (in)famous clients includes Andrew and Tristan Tate, with an image of the pair smiling in front of the development project.

Ron, who describes himself as a conservative Christian, said: ‘It’s just great that he’s doing it.’

Naturally the shelters come at a price. For those who are completely satisfied with an 8 by 12 inch capsule, you’re looking at minimum $60,000.

But in the event you are willing to splurge for a 14 by 50 inch ‘Fat Boy’, costs can reach as much as $475,000.

In 2023, Ron designed a shelter for Mark Zuckerberg beneath his $270 million Hawaiian estate.

In 2021, he even appeared in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, delivering a prop bunker to Kim’s Calabasas mansion, although they ‘never actually bought one’.

Ron said: ‘Most of my clients are from wealthy families – they’re CEOs and Christians, but I urge everyone to open their eyes to what is occurring.

‘For those who imagine in Jesus, you already know we’re approaching the top of days. And everybody must be prepared.’
