Hundreds of wealthy people from France to Saudi Arabia have inquired about this ‘luxury’ bomb shelter that costs up to $500,000 since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Underground shelter manufacturers are reporting a surge in customer inquiries since Russia invaded Ukraine, including Artemis Protection, a high-end bunker company based in France.
The company’s founder Mathieu Séranne said he has received 500 bomb shelter inquiries over the past two weeks.
According to screenshots viewed by Insider, the company has received 30 requests in the past 24 hours.
Prices for the company’s 236 square-foot “premium” pre-fab bunkers start at $300,000 and can go up to more than $500,000 depending on personalization and total square footage.
Customers are willing to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into bunkers because “our most basic instinct as human beings is survival,” Séranne told Insider.
The ready-to-use shelter “is as comfortable as a mountain chalet and strong enough to withstand any major event, anywhere in the world,” he said.
