Sunday Times
The inside story of WeWork's ascent and descent, revealing how the excesses of its founder shaped a corporate culture unlike any other.
In its infancy, WeWork vowed to achieve the seemingly impossible: to transform the workplace into a cool and desirable environment.
Adam Neumann, an immigrant driven by a relentless pursuit of wealth in the United States, stumbled upon the idea of repurposing surplus New York office space for the burgeoning freelance class. Over a span of ten years, WeWork garnered billions of dollars from some of the most coveted investors globally, investing it in the construction of a vast real estate empire.
Billion Dollar Loser, based on over two hundred interviews, meticulously chronicles the rapid pace at which WeWork's CEO, Adam Neumann, built and expanded his company. This narrative culminates in a day-by-day account of the five weeks preceding WeWork's botched IPO and Neumann's dramatic ouster. Reeves Wiedeman, through unparalleled access and insightful analysis, unveils the complete and intricate story of WeWork and its CEO, who together epitomized the most audacious and unlikely rise and fall in business.
