There’s a reason these assholes feel like they need bunkers.
Fun fact: All bunkers have air vents somewhere on the surface.
And all bunkers have an entrance. Entrances that can be sealed with concrete and rebar, to turn bunkers into tombs.
Let's become tomb creators, and after a year, raiders.
Oh, I imagine they have supplies to last a year.
I say open them after 100-200y, make it a fun time capsule, then turn them into museums -- "this is one of the places where we buried alive the biggest leeches in society after they constructed the most lavish palatial bunkers to hide in during a time of global turmoil!" -- you can show people just what excess wealth to the point of detachment from society will drive a person to do, and what society will do in turn to them.
You think they won't have their servers set up to automate the oppression of the masses, with the top-level control servers housed inside their bunker, to keep the profits flowing even when they're permanently sealed off fron the world?
They're rich enough to automate the hydroponic farming under LED grow lights fertilized from their own shit. All they have to do is flush the toilet and the whole thing cycles for them in a closed loop. Reverse osmosis means they'll never run out of drinking water, and their pelotons ensure they won't waste away and perish.
Even sealing off the air vents, they might have enough houseplants in a greenhouse in their bunker to cycle enough oxygen for them to survive.
And if you say "well we can just destroy the servers outside their bunker to cut them off from the world!" Well, not if they're housed in a compound guarded by security forces with have enough of a paycheck flowing in to guarantee their families won't starve.
If blocking the ventilation doesn't work, I can think of plenty of chemical and biological agents to introduce to a ventilation system that will produce the desired effect. Filters only catch so much, have a limited lifetime and will deteriorate, and can be hastened to deteriorate faster. I doubt they're going to fit a HEPA filter factory down there.
And as for the armed guards, if the world is bad enough that the billionaires have hidden away in their bunkers, I doubt it's a world where fiat currency has meaning anymore. About the only ways I could see armed guards being kept in line long-term would be to have their families all held hostage in the bunker as well, and/or explosive collars -- and the latter can be hacked, I'm certain. The former, I'm sure they could try, but then you're not relaxing in luxury in post-apocalypse bliss, you're running a massive underground prison where every guard hates the warden and wants to help the inmates escape and murder the warden. That doesn't sound easy or fun no matter how much money you have to throw at the problem.
Really, I find it unlikely that billionaires will be able to retain much in the way of long-term control if the outside world gets bad enough that they've sealed themselves inside a hole in the ground, no matter what kind of connectivity they have down there. They can build whatever they want now, while fiat currency still has meaning; but once it stops making sense to worship the dollar and the planet is on fire, they're just some moron in a hole in the ground with lots of supplies. They're a loot cache.
Their bunkers plans are mostly insane. Zuck has a bunker designed for him and like 100 staff. I don't think he understands how the power dynamics are going to change once civilization ends and his money isn't worth anything.
They do, they actually worry about it:
Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked, “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The Event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.

More people really need to know that this was a legitimate thing. That they balked as well at the guy saying "treat people better and pay them more."
Easy, he just has to make an inner and an outer chamber, where most of the staff are kept in the outer chamber and only a handful of his most trusted individuals have access to him. He might even be able to make it so only robots can serve him in his inner cloister.
People really think these dudes haven't thought it through? They've floated explosive collars for Pete's sake...
Lol dude even the prison from Andor needs maintenance staff who aren't prisoners to operate and fix shit. This model doesn't work when prisoners and the prison are all there is.
Bezos made that $70m from Melania back real quick
His wealth grows by more than that per day on average
That’s a little treat for the Washington post not endorsing anybody for president for the first time ever.
Outraged people continue to buy things from Amazon.com!
Not me! I canceled Prime and now shop at WALMART!! sigh.
As someone who lives in a rural area, this is literally what I'm trying to do. It's fucking joke, but we only have so many stores in town.
Oh noes, so they went from paying almost nothing to just basically paying nothing at all?
Fuck these assholes, bring in the guillotines
I'm sorry, did the company actually pay billions in taxes, or was that before other deductions? I seriously doubt they paid that much, and did not offset it against losses in other years, as they can do retroactively for a few years too.
If not now when? 
That's so fucked up. And some people will still dig in their heels about how billionaires shouldn't have to pay more taxes. Fuck this country.
People should calculate those earnings into the Melania numbers.
That's one HELL of a return on a $75 million dollar spend to bribe Pedonald. If I'm getting all the zeroes right, 7.8 billion / 75 mil is a multiple of 104. Where else are you going to get that kind of return on an investment?
By grifting conservatives. Especially if you are a religion.
Once again, more profit for the mall killer and destroyer of mom-and-pop stores.
And yet the stock is still falling ¯_(ツ)_/¯
