Ex-WeWork CEO Adam Neumann plotting secret new ‘post-pandemic’ biz
Don’t count Adam Neumann out.
The disgraced former WeWork CEO may have lost his empire, but an insider told The Post that Neumann, 41, is already plotting his mysterious next business move.
“It involves what happened in the world because of the pandemic,” the insider said. “He’s got big plans and he’s waiting for the right time to announce them.”
Neumann reportedly hasn’t seen the buzzy new Hulu documentary “WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn” that details his spectacular rise and fall as CEO of the once-hot office space startup.
The entrepreneur is portrayed in the documentary as a charismatic but deluded charlatan who convinced financial movers and shakers — from Chase Bank’s Jamie Dimon to SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son — to mentor him and give him billions for WeWork before it all went very wrong in August 2019.
Close friends and family members have “described” the film to him but the wunderkind-turned punchline doesn’t watch or read things about himself, an insider told The Post.
Instead, he’s holed up in New York (he has properties in Greenwich Village and the Hamptons) with his wife, Rebekah, and five children, working on the “brand-new” venture.
