According to public reports, Neumann — who, Forbes reports, has a net worth of $4.1 billion — also bought a townhouse in Greenwich Village for $10.5 million in 2014 and property in Gramercy Park for $35 million in 2017. He reportedly also owns a home in Westchester County and the Hamptons, but the purchase prices are not known.

Neumann's real-estate ventures span beyond just residential. He's invested in commercial properties, startups, and has reportedly given away over $100 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

WeWork was valued at $47 billion in January of 2019. In July, Neumann made media headlines for reportedly cashing out over $700 million from the company ahead of its initial public offering.

Business Insider previously reported that before he became a billionaire, Neumann was broke. He and his wife, Rebekah, lived in a tiny apartment in NYC's East Village.

The company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
