mmt of in early 2020 and all those CEOs were stepping down
Several notable executives have stepped down or announced that they're stepping down in 2020. In fact, January 2020 set a record for the most CEO departures in the US in one month — 219 in all.

Also the tech billionaires have been expecting something for a bit

Naw, more likely field grade officers, police chiefs, i.e. the people who can rally and lead the guys who are trained in organized violence. Maybe there are some "rich and connected" who can help keep things running, too, but the power inevitably goes to the guys who can command the most people with guns. The late Roman Empire and the Warlord period in China are instructive on this matter.
You're the one citing "boston dynamic ai cyborgs" as a useful thing in a survivalist scenario.
Wtf are you talking about? I'm talking about modern rich Africans storing their wealth offshore to keep it away from local instability. During a regime collapse, the ones who don't store their wealth offshore have it sacked and stolen either by the next regime or during general unrest. You're the one that brought up "war torn Africa".

bc thats totally comparable to what would happen in a modern scenario.
what about that wouldnt be useful in maintaining a $167million self-sustaining compound in a post collapse world?
there were rich africans before modernity, chud.

The Warlord period was only a century ago. This is what always happens when there's a collapse of the current order. All of the complex systems that relied on this order fall apart and power decentralizes.
It wouldn't be useful for a local subsistence community. Neither would a luxury bunker.
When there was a war that brought down the regime upon which these rich relied, then they stopped being "the rich".

yeah, before airplanes, mass global communication, sattalites and drones, etc. What you predict might happen in todays day and age is pure speculation with no kore or less weight than my speculation.
I disagree
that's with traditional war though. A mass cataclysm causing global collapse or a nuke war, will be a completly different scenario.

All of those things you mentioned are incredibly dependent on a highly complex chain of logistics and industry, chains which would be the first to break in a major collapse scenario.
What I'm suggesting is a general description of what historically has happened when complex societies break down.
Go to any Amish community and see how much they need luxury bunkers and scifi AI robots. Oh, and good luck maintaining all that advanced shit without any replacement parts.
I was not talking about a traditional war. I was taking about a collapse in local order, usually what happens during a coup de tat.

yoi dont know that, nor to what extent and in what ways civilization will collapse when whatever happens happens.
need=/=want, and somethings that are wants are quite useful/helpful, like modern medicine and technology.
thats still war in the traditional sense. Not a mass cataclysm, zombie apocalypse or thermonuclear war.(each of which would themselves lead to drastically different outcomes).

The most complex, wide-reaching chains would most likely be the first to break-down. That is a very uncontroversial take.
Enough medicine for a family isn't going to make someone rich, and medicine expires. A handful of technology in the bunker isn't going to be useful at scale and it can no longer be repaired.
They'd lead to an even more extreme versions of the same outcome as a regime collapse. In other words, if local rich people can't stay rich through a local regime collapse without an external system in which to store their wealth, then global rich people can't stay rich through a global collapse since the system on which their wealth depended (and where it was stored) will have collapsed, as well.

most of it doesnt expire for 10-15 years

everything else you said is just more speculation
