WeWork chairman Marcelo Claure shares photo of lavish dinner day after 2,400 fired
This long-anticipated layoff is the biggest move by Japanese technology conglomerate SoftBank Group Corp, which is providing a $9.5 billion lifeline and will soon own about 80 per cent of WeWork`s shares.

The restaurant`s website says the Pasta Tasting Menu is $110 per person and accompanying wines charge $80 per person, reported Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, Claure is now controlling WeWork with the technology investment company SoftBank.
