Risky like when Adam Neumann was fired from WeWork with a $1.7 billion severance package?

Neumann was a co-founder. Hired CEOs will almost never make it to billionaire status (Ballmer, Schmidt and Damon are the only notable exceptions I know of).

That might be so, yet it still seems that CEOs can do pretty magnificently out of being fired even when they fuck up really badly.
