WeWork founder, Adam Neumann, remains a billionaire even with firm’s bankruptcy; He is still worth $1.7 billion

WeWork founder, Adam Neumann, remains a billionaire even with firm’s bankruptcy.

He is still worth $1.7 billion, per Bloomberg.

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, WeWork has unveiled a list of 40 "underperforming locations" in New York City that it intends to exit, subject to court approvals.

The company also identified 29 properties in the U.S. and Canada for relinquishment, raising concerns about the performance of the commercial real estate market. Hilco Real Estate has been enlisted to renegotiate terms on over 400 leases, and some members will have the opportunity to renegotiate with landlords directly.

WeWork, once a major tenant in Manhattan, has faced financial challenges, reporting significant net losses in recent quarters.
