Ex-WeWork CEO Adam Neumann inspired Halloween costumes this year.
WeWork has been in the news for its failed IPO attempt and ousting founder Adam Neumann.
The company has since been bailed out by SoftBank, and Neumann reportedly received $1.7 billion in an exit package that required him to step down from the board.

After WeWork spent the summer and fall in the news, some party-goers were inspired to dress as the company's cofounder and former CEO Adam Neumann the weekend before Halloween.

Neumann has a fairly easy look to copy: he typically wears a t-shirt, blazer, and no shoes. People dressing as the former CEO got creative, incorporating his SoftBank bailout and making homemade "We" shirts. Instagram meme account Mrs. Dow Jones even brought in a glam squad to perfect Neumann's hair.

Here are some of the best Adam Neumann costumes we've seen so far this Halloween season.

Adam Neumann and Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes have been compared as charismatic founders who convinced investors to give them billions, so they make sense as a couple's costume.
