WeWork's Co-Founder Is Selling His Lavish, Off-Grid Home
The home also comes with a cool, theme park-grade waterslide...
WeWork's co-founders, Adam and Rebekah Neumann, have listed their lavish California home for £21.1 million.
The sprawling home –with views of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge – has plenty to offer; a swimming pool with a theme park-grade waterslide, a music studio, home cinema, indoor racquet-ball court, an outdoor basketball court, plus a detached work-from-home office with its own yoga studio.

The eco-friendly homeoffers off-grid living too, with a personal water well, solar power, geo-thermal systems, a greenhouse, herb garden, chicken coop, and bee harvesting.
You’d have to try really hard to be bored, even in quarantine.
The lush property is set on a hilltop with views of San Francisco, and is just minutes from Golden Gate Bridge.

Aside from this nearly 10,000 square foot main house, there's also a spacious two-bedroom guest home, staff quarters and a poolside cabana with bar.
A previous owner hired eco-focused architect Sim Van der Ryn to replace the former dated structure with a contemporary mansion. The architect designed it to function off the grid, including things like a personal water well, solar panels and geo-thermal systems.
The power couple clearly have a green thumb; there's a greenhouse full of veg, and there are raised garden beds too.
