Exhibit 24

                               POWER OF ATTORNEY

        Know all by these presents that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints Jared DeMatteis as the undersigned's true and lawful primary attorney-
in-fact and Jane Wang as the undersigned's secondary attorney-in-fact to:

     (1)  execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
          capacity as a beneficial owner of WeWork, Inc. (the "Company"), Forms
          3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

     (2)  do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
          which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
          Form 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments
          thereto, and timely file such form with the U.S. Securities and
          Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any securities exchange or similar
          authority; and

     (3)  take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
          foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
          benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the
          undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such
          attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
          of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
          conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-
          fact's discretion.

        The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted. The undersigned also ratifies hereby any action previously taken by the
attorney-in-fact that would have been authorized by this power of attorney if it
has been in effect at the time such action was taken. The undersigned
acknowledges that the foregoing attorney-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at
the request of the undersigned, is not assuming, nor is the Company assuming,
any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The primary and secondary attorneys-in-fact
may act separately.

        This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorney-in-fact.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 13th day of September, 2021.
