Doomsday preppers are making a fortune off fears that the world is coming to an end.

Rising S Company sells underground doomsday bunkers at every price point. The Texas-based manufacturer claims to have seen business soar between 500% and 700% in the months since the election of President Trump, with millions in sales generated this year.

The bunkers are made from steel and set 11 feet underground, which makes them useful in natural disasters, nuclear attacks, and other doomsday scenarios, according to the company.

"Anybody can put containers in the ground and sell them to people. What Rising S sells is safety," Gary Lynch, general manager of Rising S Company told Business Insider.

Rising S Company declined to share more specific revenue numbers, but said it made between $9 million and $14 million in sales in 2016 — a wide range. Lynch expects the company to sell 200 shelters this year.

These days, you can't turn on the news without thinking the world is coming to an end.

In the span of a month, two major hurricanes swept through the US, an 8.2-magnitude earthquake rattled Mexico, and wildfires blazed through Canada, Oregon, Montana, and California. As of September 11, officials had put the collective death toll above 150.

A rising number of Americans are taking precautions for a future apocalypse.

In the wake of recent natural disasters and continued nuclear threats from North Korea, more people are stocking their homes with survival supplies, picking up new skills at the shooting range, amd buying units in massive underground shelters built to protect entire communities.

Rising S Company started out as a storm shelter manufacturer.

About a decade ago, a woman approached owner Clyde Scott about building her a much larger storm shelter — around 40 feet long — that came with all the creature comforts of home.

"She wanted the whole works — bathrooms, beds, sinks, camera systems — and it got me thinking, she isn't wanting no ordinary storm shelter, but a survival shelter," Scott told Dazed.

He used $3 million from his storm-shelter business to create a bunker company, and business has kept him busy every since. According to the general manager, Lynch, the client list includes professional athletes, tech moguls, politicians, and celebrities. Scott told Dazed and Confused magazine that he's working on a high-end bunker for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
