I think the way to avoid being couped would be to make sure your security forces lived really really well before the collapse, and have everyone live as equals in the bunker. At least that way they’d have some loyalty to you. Problem is that requires sharing and we all know how much billionaires love to do that.
That would avoid “I’m such an asshole, they’d rather do away with me than follow” scenarios but not “turns out I hired a power hungry asshole that just wants to be in charge” ones.
