Where is WeWork’s Rebekah Neumann now? Billionaire Adam Neumann’s wife and Gwyneth Paltrow’s cousin, played by Anne Hathaway in WeCrashed, is still all about veganism, wellness and yoga

  • The vegan and yogi tested her hand in Hollywood starring in films with Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, Lucy Liu and Rosario Dawson under the stage name Rebekah Keith
  • The couple have six children and live in style with properties worth over US$90 million, while her entrepreneurial endeavours include the school WeGrow, rebranded as SOLFL

Co-sharing space WeWork made headlines after its launch in 2010. Founded by Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey, the start-up quickly built up a US$47 billion worth – but it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, especially when its value dropped to US$2.9 billion in 2020.

So what happened? WeWork’s epic rise and fall is portrayed in Apple TV+’s new series WeCrashed starring Jared Leto as Neumann and Anne Hathaway as his wife Rebekah Neumann, the spiritual and strategic driving force behind WeWork. But how has she still maintained her role since the pair left their empire in 2019?

She is still a billionaire’s wife

According to Marie Claire, the pair met in 2007 through university friends and quickly hit it off, getting married in 2008. Although their relationship is relatively private, Rebekah has described her beau as her “soulmate” – but would also oversee the “soul” side of the business, referring to her insistence on wellness in the workplace.

The couple are still together now, meaning they can continue to enjoy their lavish life thanks to Adam’s US$2.3 billion net worth. And lavish it is indeed.

According to The Wall Street Journal, in 2019 they owned six properties worth some US$90 million, including a US$10.5 million town house in New York, a US$15 million 24-hectare (60-acre) estate in Linden Farm and at least two homes in the Hamptons.

However, Adam is now looking to sell some of his properties, including the Gramercy Park residence for US$37.5 million. Additionally, he has been reportedly acquiring majority stakes in more than 4,000 flats valued at more than US$1 billion in the US.

 

The couple likes to travel in style too. In 2018, Adam bought a two-bedroom Gulfstream G650ER company private jet for US$60 million. It’s since been put on the market for an unspecified price, according to Insider.

She took a long hiatus from Hollywood
