In 2019, Adam Neumann was forced out of WeWork, the company which he founded in 2010. After a meteoric rise the entrepreneur was brought down after allegations of serious drug use and sexual improprieties were made.
And Neumann reportedly walked away with a $1.7 billion deal. So he does has plenty of his own money to pursue other ventures.
