Have you ever found that the rich have been doing something that looks crazy in the past two years: not buying a house, but building a country.

Florida has just started a new luxury house with a budget of 285 million US dollars. You may think this is another show of wealth.

But the real question is: In recent years, why did these rich people suddenly start to "hoard land, dig bunkers and build enclaves"? What are they afraid of?

Let's tell the story first:
This 285 million mansion is called "The Compound" and is located in Manalapan, near Miami, Florida. How good is the location? Cut a piece from the Gold Coast with a knife and use it as a back garden.

This suite, with a main building of more than 5,000 square meters, was built by Steve Wynn, a former Morgan Stanley executive and the "Las Vegas ××" who turned Las Vegas into a "paradise of drunkenness".

Luxury house configuration can hardly be described as "luxury":
An underground garage that can park more than 30 luxury cars;
A private museum that displays all kinds of collectibles (such as Da Vinci, 82-year-old red wine ...);
A gun shooting range bigger than a football field,
There are also helipads, private docks, multiple guest villas, swimming pools and artificial islands ...
He is not buying a house, he is building a "small country" of his own.

Realtor.com reported that this may become the most expensive private residence in the United States.

It is worth noting that Wynn is not alone at all. In the past two years, the rich have been "building houses like crazy".
For example, Elon Musk.
A small town called Snailbrook was built in Texas, where employees of XX SpaceX and Boring Company live, and they are preparing to retire and live in seclusion. The town covers hundreds of acres and can accommodate hundreds of employee houses after completion;

Including Amazon's Bezos:
Spent $100 million in Hawaii to buy a whole volcanic zone, and planned to build a "private technology+ecological mixed manor".
Zero-carbon energy system, independent water circulation system and ecological maintenance facilities;
UAV distribution platform and helicopter platform;
Hidden high-tech underground fortress
This is not building a house, but building a country. ......

And Zuckerberg on Facebook.
I bought more than 1,400 acres of land in Keai Island, Hawaii, with bomb shelters, solar power stations and remote farms. Sounds like The Wandering Earth's "initial version".
The main residential area is almost 57,000 square feet;
Including a "safe house" bunker, 1 meter thick bulletproof wall;
There are also solar energy systems and cattle biogas power stations, which can completely survive off the grid;
In addition, there are even self-built agricultural systems and beef cattle breeding areas, which can be remotely controlled for security.
The media also said: He is building a doomsday bunker that "can live without internet".

These people are not buying houses-they are building a "new world for the rich".
You think he's crazy, but he's sober.
Because what do rich people fear most?
Not falling house prices, but:
dollar depreciation
Stock market bubble
The financial system is unstable

So what are they doing?
Throw money into "hard assets that will not disappear"-land, real estate and commodities.
And this mansion is his "super anti-risk armored fort".

The rich have begun to hoard houses like grain, waiting to cross the next big cycle, relying on water, electricity, land and house numbers instead of financial products.

What do you think? This 285 million house is to show off wealth? Or?
