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.

There are lots of retro, '70s inspired touches too.

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.

The bathrooms feature striking design, with Jacuzzi baths and shower rooms with wraparound seating.
