Presumably the bunker would have significant stores of food and supplies with which to pay them and offer protection for their families. Additionally there would also be the promise of eventually getting to other bunkers that he has with more supplies and people. Which may or may not exist.

Or they will take the food and supplies by force and give him no choice but to reveal the location of the other bunkers.

I think armed security will be able to get their own food from the stores. No single man no matter who they are in a SHTF scenario could realistically convince enough people to keep them safe. In fact his security would be the ones with all the power, he would have none.

  This can make him up at night. He needs to come up with a very convincing way of promising them some more resources that cannot be just grabbed by torturing him. It's not going to be easy. In traditional setups you have a higher reason such as protecting the president for the sake of the whole nation etc., with Zuck you have none.

Realistically, a billionaire-in-a-bunker's only choice is to 1. pick guards he likes and who like him, 2. be really nice to them, 3. make peace with becoming their peer after the apocalypse. He can probably buy survival, but he can't keep his power after the legal system (and his money) is useless. I'm guessing the required characteristics of post-apocalyptic warlord and a tech CEO have important areas of non-overlap. Zuckerberg certainly lacks the necessary charisma.
