None of these billionaires know how to survive without a hundred people personally tending to them so I'm not sure how long they think they'll last in their bunkers

They're building their bunkers to support staff as well. Don't think them stupid, because they're not. They're just evil, not stupid.

Will they hire security to protect them from the support staff?

Why are you so focused and on absolutes? The majority of those with that kind of money has more to do with connections and nepotism than it does intelligence.

Donald fucking Trump loves to brag about his schooling at Wharton’s but Warton’s professors say he was the dumbest they ever had to deal with. Still graduated.

Elon is another example of this, but he didn’t even finish his degree.

You can make the argument that yes they’re rich may not be all that smart but they can afford to pay smart people, and while that is true, the majority of these narcissists is that they believe only they have all the answers.

Yes they’re rich as hell, no they’re not Einstein. You’re right to say not to underestimate though

Your last point is the one I was trying to convey. Don't underestimate them. They have enormous staffs to lean upon for expert opinions on most subjects, and the resources to do whatever is recommended.

on a dooms day scenario there is very little stopping the staff taking over the bunker though.
