自川普当选美国总统以来，协助全球超级富翁安然度过末日浩劫的地下碉堡销售激增300%，意味有愈来愈多超极富翁正透过购买“末日地堡”，为世界末日来临的那一天做准备。
英国“每日邮报”（Daily Mail）和美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报导，说到“末日地堡”，大多数的人可能会想像在1个混凝土修筑的房间堆满帆布床和罐头产品。
全球当前面临世界毁灭威胁的感受，恐不亚于冷战时期，但今日的高规格安全避难雕堡，却与20世纪的避难所大不相同。
有愈来愈多人有意购买地下碉堡，保护他们不受任何风险侵扰，无论是全球大流行病、小行星或第3次世界大战，全球多家企业正致力满足这项日益增加的需求，同时提供奢华的设施。
房地产企业家、美国Vivos公司执行长维奇诺（Robert Vicino）说，“你们父亲或祖父那一辈的地堡并不是非常舒适”；他建立的公司在全球打造尖端避难所。
他说：“那些灰暗的避难所为金属材质，就像一艘船或是军事设施。事实上，人类无法长期在那种斯巴达式的阴暗环境生存。”
全球许多精英阶层，包括避险基金经理、运动明星和科技业高层，都选择设计自己的秘密碉堡，让自己的家人和职员居住。
总部设在德州的Rising S Company总经理林奇（Gary Lynch）说，2016年订制尖端地堡的销售较2015年激增700%，自美国大选以来，整体销售则攀升300%。
这家公司的钢板地堡，能屹立数个世代，最少能储存每位居民1年份的粮食，也能抵抗地震。
这些强化的结构能承受核武攻击，并且配备电力和净水系统、风阀及核生化空气过滤装置。
这些防灾避难所每座的内部装备要价2万5000美元至20万美元不等，端视买主需要最低要求的空间或是拥有尖端设备的住家而定。
A growing number of the world's super rich are preparing for the apocalypse by purchasing 'doomsday bunkers'. The 2.8 meter high mobile shutters at the Safe House, Poland, open up to 180 degrees and a roll-down gate, made of white anodized aluminum, can also function as a projection screen
But don't expect the one per cent to slum it out in drab, concrete dwellings as they survive the end of the world - these bunkers feature some of the most lavish layouts (pictured) imaginable that are designed for the more modern survivalist. The Survival Condo in Kansas provides military-level security, on top of the protection provided by the facility's 9-foot thick walls
Vivos is one of the world's leaders in bunker construction. The company's latest offering, the XPoint (pictured), is advertised as the largest 'prepper' community on Earth
Dotted across nine square miles fields of southwest South Dakota - far from nuclear targets, according to Vivos - are 575 bomb-resistant bunkers that can comfortably sleep 10 to 20 people each. The interiors (pictured) of each bunker are outfitted by the owners at a cost of between $25,000 to $200,000 each
The Vivos underground bunker in Germany (above) looks like a fancy hotel, including a community swimming pool
Vivos Europa One, Germany is a modern day Noah's Ark and is built beneath a 400-foot tall mountain. It offers 227,904 square feet of living space
The Oppidum has its own private vaults 'for your most valuable assets'. Pictured is a bedroom at The Oppidum in Czech Republic
This property called The Glass House, is located in London and is equipped with a stunning atrium with windows cut into the five-inch-thick walls and a magnificent glass staircase
Another prominent bunker builder is Rising S Company, a Texas-based corporation that said business is booming in recent months. Gary Lynch, Rising S' general manager, said overall sales have increased by 300 per cent since the presidential election last November
Another of the most well-known American bunkers are the 'Survival Condos' (pictured) in Kansas. Larry Hall is the brainchild behind the developments, which were originally built by the US Army Corps of Engineers in the 1960s during the Cold War for the Atlas F missile, and there were 72 of them around the country
It was revealed last month that all the apartments in the first complex sold out, and people now have the option to buy a flat in the second silo. The Survival Condo Project is a luxury complex housed 15 stories below ground in a former missile silo near Concordia, Kansas. Pictured is a theater room inside a the Survival Condo Project bunker
A full-floor apartment, spanning 1,800 square feet, will set buyers back $3million, while a 900-square-foot, half-floor unit is $1.5million. Penthouse variants are available for $4.5million. The abandoned Atlas missile silo (pictured) was turned into luxury condos by the Survival Condo Project
The survival condos are designed to hold up to 70 people and have enough resources to keep them alive for years. The Silo Home (pictured) in New York is located above a former missile facility
The Czech Republic is home to what has been dubbed 'the largest billionaire bunker in the world' - known as 'The Oppidum' (pictured)
The massive 77,500 square foot underground bunker in the heart of the European country has been specifically built with the end of the world as we know it in mind. Designed for just one owner, it is it the largest private shelter in the world and features a private helipad, luxury underground living rooms and a secret corridor connecting the buildings above with those below
Even its location was strategically chosen in central Europe, in an undisclosed rural area close to Prague and less than two hours from both London and Moscow by private jet. Pictured is a jacuzzi bathtub inside The Oppidum
This property, now called The Glass House, is virtually unrecognizable with a luxury swimming pool. The nuclear bunker was a Regional Control Centre and one of four in the London area, fully equipped with showers, food, water and fuel stores
These apartments contain a private bathroom (right) and kitchen (left) and can be designed to your own taste
The Germany bunker is for the super-rich, though prices are kept under wraps for those who qualify
Behind the large swimming pool of the Survival Condo Project is a rock climbing wall for residents to enjoy while in the nuclear bunker, which was originally build back in 1960
The Survival Condo Project's complex is designed to comfortably survive any apocalypse, such as global health pandemics, cataclysmic weather, and terror attacks
And while some may question whether luxury is needed in a post-apocalyptic world where surely survival is more important than the finer things, Vicino explained why he believes style still matter - even after the nukes have fallen. The Vivos xPoint South Dakota bunker once served as an Army Munitions Depot
