DISGRACED influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate requested for a stripper pole to be installed in their $3.9 million Doomsday bunker, its designer told The U.S. Sun. The luxury lair in Romania reportedly spans 2,400 square feet complete with 10 bedrooms and a living room and is larger than even Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg's end-of-the-world shelter. The Tate brothers are the latest in a long list of public figures to invest in an underground fallout shelter, including billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, the Kardashians, and Bill Gates.

However, the controversial podcasters made a special request for the builder, Ron Hubbard. Hubbard, the CEO of Atlas Survival Shelters, told The U.S. Sun the brothers asked for stripper poles to be installed in their luxury bunker. The shelter is designed to keep its occupants safe in case of nuclear fallout - but the sick brothers clearly had NSFW ambitions in mind when they asked for the feature. However, nothing surprises Hubbard anymore.

“If you can put it in a house, you can put it in a bunker," he shrugged. Atlas Survival Shelter is the largest bomb shelter manufacturer in the world, designing world-class luxury bunkers for elite figures. While the poles didn't come as a shock to Hubbard, he was impressed by the size of shelter the brothers requested. "Their bunker's larger than Zuckerberg's," Hubbard revealed. Hubbard said the Meta CEO's bunker in Hawaii, which he helped to design, came out at around 2,000 square feet.

His report goes against the 2023 report from Wired that Zuckerberg built a 5,000-square-foot compound that cost $100 million. Zuckerberg himself even argued the claim in December 2024. “That’s just like a little shelter,” he told Bloomberg's Emily Chang on The Circuit. “Whatever you want to call it, hurricane shelter whatever. "I think it got like, blown out of proportion as if like the whole ranch was some kind of like doomsday bunker, which is just not true.”.

If you can put it in a house, you can put it in a bunker.". Hubbard said the same thing. “In the world of bunkers, it was large, but it wasn’t as large as what people made it out to be," Hubbard disclosed. "Four or five bedrooms, living room, couple bathrooms.". While Hubbard was retained to design Zuckerberg's bunker, he didn't end up building it. However, the survival expert created the Tate brothers' bunker specifically for them.
