Nope, it's not the same at all. Wework is the corporation and it's leasing from the founder. McDonald's is the corporation and it leases out to franchisees.

- auggierose 7y agoWatch the movie, you obviously haven't.
- mercutio2 7y agoI have seen the (largely fictitious) movie. It is not in the movie (which, again, is largely fictitious) that Ray Kroc took personal ownership of properties, and benefitted personally from the corporation he controlled (not counting the above-board appreciation-of-the-overall-corporation, which of course he benefitted from, but capitalists mostly don’t argue with this). There was an intermediary acting as the owner, and there are no franchisees in WeWork’s case. WeWork is vastly, vastly more sketchy.
