Probably only works if you're a 6'5, enigmatic, charismatic, handsome, youthful "Visionary" who is married to Gwyneth Paltrow's cousin. I'm just a 5'9, balding, middle-aged coding schmuck who's married to a school nurse.


What’s wrong with school nurses?


Nothing! My wife loves her job and I love my wife. :) I'm just trying to point out that being married to a school nurse doesn't carry the same cache as being married to Gwyneth Paltrow's cousin.


What does Gwyneth Paltrow's cousin do that warrants any attention, aside from being related to someone famous?


Particularly for foreign investors, having a direct family connection to a US celebrity is a huuuge deal. Also she runs a $250 million consumer direct brand so I'm sure they were thinking all kinds of GOOP cross products and promotions in the WeWork locales etc.

That's exactly what warrants attention. People like famous people.
