An expert has revealed where billionaires have built bunkers in case a nuclear war breaks out.

This was disclosed during an episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast where host Steven Bartlett had a group discussion with three experts about the threat of a potential third World War.

Uploaded to YouTube, the video description explained: “The West is collapsing, nuclear threats are rising. Are we heading to World War 3 under Trump? Former CIA spy and top experts discuss nuclear threats, AI manipulation, and sound the alarm on rising tensions between US-Iran, Russia-Ukraine, and China-Taiwan.”

During the podcast, it was nuclear war expert, Annie Jacobsen, who detailed exactly where billionaires are building their emergency war bunkers to shield in safety away from the impact of nuclear weapons.

So, where is the safest place on Earth to build a bunker right now? According to Jacobsen, it’s New Zealand.

She explained: “Among the stranger conversations I have had since [her book] Nuclear War: A Scenario published was with several billionaires who actually have bunkers in New Zealand.

“They will remain nameless… but what was interesting to me was that these individuals were - the response to reading my book and realizing the world could end in 72 minutes wasn’t ‘let’s all get together and make sure nuclear war doesn’t happen’, or maybe it was and I just didn’t hear that part of the conversation, but it was more about ‘how fast can I get my G5 loaded so I can get to New Zealand?’

“Because a G5, the private aircraft, can take you from Los Angeles to New Zealand without refueling.”

Many people took to the YouTube comment section to share their own reactions to the podcast, with one user writing: “I'd forgotten how a room of people that don't interrupt each other, before they got their full ideas articulated, looked and sounded like for a while. Bravo guys.”

Another said: “Annie is incredible, a pool of knowledge, her voice so captivating, her book absolutely left me speechless!”

A third commented: “Bunker in New Zealand? I don’t love life that much. That is not life.”

And a fourth person added: “What makes me mad is that there are a handful of people who act like they own the planet. No one should have nuclear weapons!”

In other news, Homeland Security is set to fund a bill that will make ‘Americans more vulnerable to nuclear threats’ as worries over a potential World War 3 intensify.
