If you really believe in something like a doomsday which you could reasonably escape from using one of these retreats, then really you believe in an extraordinarily specific set of circumstances which might arise. Far more realistic is the general decline in civilization, uptick in conflict, and growing paucity of resources. Frankly I don't see most of that affecting the C-level exec anyway, and if it does I don't see a glorified bomb shelter as the solution, more of a delay to get the guts up to shoot yourself. It's a really stupid notion at this particular time in human and technological development that we can live without other people and without the biosphere in general. That day may come, but it's probably quite a ways away and in the meantime we do need each other to some extent whether we like it or not, regardless of how wealthy we are. The smartest bet now is not to throw your money into the ground on the shelter, but to invest in the planet and its people.
