Panic rooms and underground bunkers for billionaires
If you're a chief of staff, personal assistant, or estate manager, you may be tasked with looking into resources to protect your celebrity or ultra-high net worth boss. In which case, you would probably need to look into a "panic room" (or safe room). Here is one of the world's leading experts on the subject.

Why do wealthy families need safe rooms?
In many large cities, the response time for law enforcement can be long, so many ultra-high net worth families are taking matters into their own hands. Having a safe room (i.e., panic room) can mean the difference between life and death if there is a home invasion.

Protecting celebrities and VIP families is important. They are vulnerable and are targets. Personal assistants, estate managers, and chiefs of staff have to understand how to protect their employers.
Underground bunkers and panic rooms aren't just for extreme preppers anymore. Several companies specialize in building these upscale Doomsday Retreats, and business is booming. We went inside a Los Angeles-area home with all the security bells and whistles that can protect even the richest of billionaires.
He has cameras everywhere, a biometric bedroom door with bullet proof walls, and even a gassing system. I don't think it's crazy at all. This man lives in one of the most fortified homes in Southern California. Just try to get inside. As soon as someone enters the compound, they step foot into a house located high above the Sunset Strip with an amazing view. The mansion is outfitted with top-of-the-line equipment and ready to host anyone from celebrities to Heads of State. In fact, this home just might be safer than the White House in Washington DC.
If you look up to your right, you'll see a circle. That is a gaseous system that is blinding to intruders. On the Rachael Ray Show, it happened in three seconds. It can have the entire floor of your mega-mansion so dense that if you put your palm on your nose, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. There is even a special camera that can see through the fog. This way, celebrities can protect their homes without even firing a single shot.

This is my daughter's room, and she shares the security of the whole "safe core." There's a balcony with a fire escape, and you could shoot an intruder that tries to come up the ladder. The security shutters drop down when you need them to.
It just turns into a solid wall of steel if an intruder tries to enter. Not even the best bodyguard can beat it. The walls are all ballistic, so you can't shoot through them, and the floor has a ballistic material in it to stop the bad guys. Nobody can shoot up through the floor since we're already safe in the "safe core." We can come into this room here, and then your personal assistant can call the police.
Here is a powder room outfitted with a security monitor phone system and additional layer of protection. The mansion has a heliport that's ready to land a helicopter. A billionaire client has contracted this company to build a 100-million-dollar doomsday bunker in an undisclosed location. It's something every billionaire should think about.
A survey commissioned by National Geographic found that 40% of Americans believe that stocking up on supplies for building a bomb shelter was a wiser investment than a 401k plan.
