There is a strict hierarchy on the red carpet, where a celebrity’s status determines almost everything — from the time they arrive to how many minutes they are allowed in front of photographers, The Telegraph reports...

In eastern Canada, nestled among the evergreen forests and deserted parking lots of a former World War II military base in the quiet town of Debert, Nova Scotia, a development for the global elite is underway, BBC reports.

Canadian crypto mogul Jonathan Baha'i has set out to transform a massive, 60,000-square-foot nuclear fallout bunker into an exclusive, "apocalypse-proof" residential complex. Managed by Fallout Complex Inc., the project offers 50 luxury apartments where billionaires can ride out any global catastrophe.

Resident amenities include fine dining supplied by an in-house autonomous system, biometric access, 24/7 security, a spa, a yoga room, a cigar lounge, and a medical clinic. For those arriving via private jet, an airfield is located conveniently nearby.

Baha'i purchased the site, known historically as a "Diefenbunker," back in 2013 for a modest $22,000. Originally, he planned to turn it into a museum, a laser tag arena, and a data center, but world events shifted his vision.

"Over the last two years, there’s been more uncertainty in the world than in the previous 30," explains project co-owner Paul Mansfield. "That has driven people to seek a sort of 'insurance policy' against the end of the world."

Security for the bunker has been entrusted to German firm Bespoke Home and Yacht Security, whose client list, according to Mansfield, includes US Vice President JD Vance and Kim Kardashian. The complex plans to employ aerial drones as part of its security apparatus. Out of the 50 proposed units, 11 have already been sold.

History of a Forgotten Giant

The Debert bunker is one of seven similar facilities constructed under the orders of Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in the 1950s and 60s. Designed to house key government personnel in the event of nuclear war, they were built to withstand a near-miss nuclear strike and sustain 329 people autonomously for a month.

However, rapid advancements in missile technology quickly rendered the bunkers obsolete. The Debert facility long served as a provincial emergency notification center until it was decommissioned in 1996 to cut budget costs. Of the original "Diefenbunkers," few were preserved by Canadian authorities; others were flooded, demolished, or sealed shut.

The current owner, however, shuns the term "doomsday bunker."

"It's not about the end of the world—it's about smart, practical preparation for a 'storm,' whatever form that takes," Baha'i asserts. "In 2022, when Hurricane Fiona hit Nova Scotia, I opened the bunker to my employees and their families. It's completely self-sufficient. If a disaster strikes, unit owners know they have a guaranteed warm, safe sanctuary with light, food, and everything they need."

When owners are not residing in the bunker, the apartments are slated to be rented out as a boutique hotel, with profits shared with unit owners. The exact purchase and rental prices remain closely guarded secrets.

The Bunker Boom and Local Reactions

Building disaster shelters has evolved into a lucrative business. Experts estimate the US market for prepping supplies and services has surpassed $500 million, with tens of millions of Americans actively preparing for emergencies. Across North America, former missile silos in Kansas and military bases in Virginia are being repurposed into subterranean retreats.

In Debert itself, reactions to the project are mixed. Annette Sharp, secretary of the local military museum, laments the loss of heritage:

"As a museum worker, it breaks my heart to tell visitors that this piece of history is now private property. Who among the locals could ever afford these Hollywood-style setups?" she asks. Following the closure of the military base, Debert's population plummeted from 60,000 (including military personnel) down to just 1,400.

Nevertheless, the county mayor and local business owners hope the project will draw tourists, generate jobs—the complex will require a staff of about 40 people—and boost the local economy.

As local pizzeria owner Fadi Farah quips: "If something happens, you’ll see me knocking on their door. Somebody's got to make them pizza while they're sitting in there!"
