I expect they'll learn the same hard lesson that the Romans and others did... fortifications only get you so far after the civilization you depend on starts to fade or fall. It's an oddly pathetic reminder that money only gets you so far, and "end of an era" is the limit.
Same with the bunkers, when money is worthless and the only truly valuable thing are access to food and force of arms, who's going to submit to some nerd because they "employ" them?
Buy islands, build bunkers... it's just an expensive version of going to sleep clutching a stuffed animal.
