You must have heard of Rebekah Neumann often because of her marriage to billionaire Adam Neumann. Rebekah and her husband have led a very interesting life worthy of being turned into a TV series.

Rebekah has been surrounded by wealth right from an early age.

Most of her money was made when she was the CEO of WeGrow, and most of the family money is owned by her husband, Adam, who has a net worth of $2.3 billion.
Rebekah Neumann’s Estate and Houses
In 2022, Rebekah and her Adam, the billionaire investor and co-founder of the co-working space WeWork, sold one of their Westchester, NY, estates for $4.5 million.
The property, at 227 Honey Hollow Road in Bedford Hills, spans 34 acres. Initially, it was bought anonymously for $2.45 million in 2017, but they are now the beneficial owners of the estate.
Anpther estate of a 6,202-square-foot colonial home, built in 1987, features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Other details include a stunning white chef’s kitchen, a fully stocked library, a den, vaulted ceilings, hardwood oak floors, and a stunning stone fireplace with reclaimed barn wood.
The mansion also has a study, a functioning home office, and a dining room with a vaulted, skylighted ceiling. The grounds have a pool and tennis courts.
This massive estate is at Linden Farm, a 60-acre estate that the Neumanns bought in 2016 for a whopping $15 million at a discount price. It had been asking for $28 million at the start.
The couple has another property, originally built in 1929, at 34 Boutonville Road in Pound Ridge, which includes a 13,746-square-foot home.
Their Linden Farm estate also features stables, a tennis court, a riding ring, ponds, a waterfall, a pool, and gardens. Plus, this property is adjacent to a 4,400-acre preserve with trails.
Following Rebekah’s WeWork failure in 2019, the couple sold another Westchester property in Katonah, NY, for over $3 million. Their neighbors included celebrity Ralph Lauren and Martha Stewart, who owns a 153-acre Bedford estate.
They sold their West Village-style home, the 1847 Greek Revival townhouse, for $13.65 million last year, which they initially bought for $10.5 million in 2013.
They even sold “Guitar House,” their Corte Madera, California home. This estate sits on 11 acres, 15 miles north of San Francisco.
The 12,500-square-foot home was asking $27.5 million and sold for $22.4 million.

Rebekah was born on the 26th of February, 1978, in New York City.
She grew up in Bedford with her parents, Evelyn and Bob Paltrow. As of 2022, she is 44 years old, a cousin of actress Gwyneth Paltrow, a famous beautiful celebrity.
She had a very good upbringing as a little kid, and sources said she used to fly on a company plane to the numerous homes her family owned in the country.
The homes included an oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach, a winter house in Vail, and a Vineyard summer house where she used to play as a kid.
Her father is a rich businessman. He founded a junk mail distribution company but was found guilty of several tax evasion in 2014 and sentenced to six months in prison a year later.
This is not the only legal problem her father faced. In 1996, he was found to be involved in a bad case due to his participation in the creation of two charities that were frauds: The American Heart Research Foundation and the American Cancer Research Funds, Inc.

The couple has six children together.
What is Rebekah Neumann Doing Now?
Rebekah Neumann was once WeWork’s chief brand and impact officer, but since then, she’d been responsible for founding WeGrow, a school housed in WeWork’s location, Chelsea.
She had to let go of her dream school when she quit her powerful WeWork role. It was announced in October 2019 that WeWork’s fledgling school would close after the 2019-2020 school year.
As the school’s CEO and founder, Rebekah was left without a job. However, in 2020, sources say the Neumanns “acquired the rights to the curriculum of elementary school,” although they are no longer the owners of the WeGrow brand.
Now, Rebekah plans to use the curriculum to launch SOLFL (pronounced “soulful”). SOLFL is an acronym that stands for Student of Life for Life.
Asher Gold, Rebekah’s media spokesperson, said the plan’s publication was for SOLFL to offer students in-person and remote learning opportunities.
This is with a view to expanding the program all over the world. SOLFL’s website also says the brand hopes to provide “a hyper-localized, Earth-based, holistic approach to teaching and learning.”
