WeWork founder Adam Neumann received $245m in company stock and $200m in cash earlier this year, part of an enormous exit package from the office rental company he led to dizzy heights before its equally dramatic fall.

The award comes nearly two years after a disastrous attempt by the company to go public and the ousting of Neumann.
