As a strong counterpoint, Adam Neumann lost $16B of Softbank's money and walked away with almost a billion of it himself personally. [0]

He later raised 350m from A16Z[1], so this is not universally true and in fact is a pretty big counterpoint. Adam Neumann is about the worst founder you can fund (Maybe SBF is worse) and can still command vast sums from top tier VCs.
