If you read about interactions with him, he's preternaturally confident and charming. I think he's also deranged. Per Wikipedia, "The Wall Street Journal reported in 2019 that Neumann had aspirations to live forever, become the world's first trillionaire, expand WeWork to the planet Mars, become Israel's prime minister, and become 'president of the world'." There are plenty of nutty rich people like this. If you would like to follow the path to lunatic billionaire, I'd suggest you start by being very tall so as to impress and dominate people. Definitely come from a broken home, the wilder the better. A sufficiently dysfunctional early environment will fuck you up for life, but it also gives some the ability to thrive in chaos. Make sure to be a charming sociopath, so that you can manipulate people, quite a lot of people, without being crushed by the moral weight of the harm you do. You'll also need some desperate character flaw that makes you insatiable: sane people will get enough money and stop, but you'll have to have some sort of unfillable void that compels you to keep going beyond all need. Lastly, make sure to be very lucky. You must be born into the right moment, such that there are people foolish enough to give you a lot of money. Luckier still to fall into the right context, so that you have plenty of enablers around you who will effectively institutionalize you. Even luckier that your crimes against society are of the sort that either aren't currently illegal or are sufficiently inconvenient to prosecute.
