Billion Dollar Loser: The Epic Rise and Spectacular Fall of Adam Neumann and WeWork

The book is voiced by artificial intelligence specifically ed to read audiobooks. In its early days, WeWork promised a beautiful tale: to make jobs for a growing class of freelancers truly fantastic. To that end, Adam Neuman, an immigrant from Israel, decided to repurpose vast surplus office space in New York City. Over the next ten years, he raised billions of dollars from the world‘s most sought-after investors and spent it to create a new global real estate empire. The fairy tale turned into a nightmare after the 2019 IPO disaster. Neumann, who dreamed of living forever, becoming the world‘s first trillionaire, expanding WeWork to Mars and becoming president of the world," was scandalously ousted as CEO. "A Billion for a Dream" recounts the dizzying speed with which Adam Neumann built and grew his company. The heat of the drama grows with each day of those last five weeks before WeWork‘s failed IPO, which Reeves Wideman recounts." Translated with DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
