When a $47 Billion Dream Became a Cautionary Tale

play
00:00
00:00

A charismatic Israeli entrepreneur with flowing hair convinced the world's smartest investors that his office-sharing company would revolutionize how humanity works, lives, and connects. By 2019, WeWork was valued at $47 billion-more valuable than Ford, FedEx, or Delta Airlines. Then, in a matter of weeks, nearly $40 billion of that value evaporated. This wasn't just a business failure; it was a spectacular collision between one man's messianic vision and an investment world desperate to believe in the next big thing. The story reveals how easily brilliant people can be seduced by charisma, how quickly herd mentality replaces critical thinking, and why the line between visionary and con artist often depends on timing. What makes this tale particularly unsettling is how quickly the lessons were forgotten-within a year, Silicon Valley was back to worshipping founder-CEOs with unchecked power, proving that we're destined to repeat this cycle until we fundamentally rethink how we evaluate ambition.
