Where is she now?
While Adam was not the first person to create the idea of shared workplaces, he was the first to turn it into a business and make a profit from it, Time reports.
The couple was reportedly able to grow WeWork from one office in Manhattan to over 111 cities across 29 counties.
“WeWork is working to create a world where people make a life and not just a living,” Adam told Time in 2017.
Despite the success of WeWork, Adam and Rebekah were known for their party lifestyles and it was ultimately “reckless spending, hard-partying lifestyle, and questionable business decisions” that led to their downfall, Time adds.

In 2018, the company reportedly lost $2billion and shareholders agreed that Adam was not the best face for the company, according to Esquire.
That same year, Adam was also reportedly caught smoking weed on a plane from Israel, which added to the shareholders’ decision, Esquire notes.
Since the scandal went down, the Neumanns have stayed out of the spotlight, but are often featured in documentaries.
As of March 2022, Rebekah is still residing in the family’s Hamptons property and is working on relaunching WeGrow, according to Esquire.
She is also becoming more eco-conscious, and according to The Financial Times “has started buying forests near the equator in the hope of saving the valuable carbon sinks from being cut down,” in a new business called Flow Carbon.
Like his wife, Adam has also stayed busy since stepping down as WeWork’s CEO.
As of March 2022, he is the owner of almost 4,000 affordable apartments across the world that are reportedly worth $1billion, Esquire adds.
He is also said to have a net worth of anywhere between $1.6 and $2.3billion.

Among the documentaries that have been created about the couple is a new series on Apple TV+.
WeCrashed first premiered on March 18, 2022, and tells the love story at the center of the rise and fall of one of the world’s most valuable startups.
In the series, Adam is portrayed by Jared Leto while Anne Hathaway portrays the role of Rebekah.
