Julie Wainwright's Memoir: 'Time to Get Real' or Just Really Rich?

Commerce

In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming, Julie Wainwright, the founder of The RealReal, has decided to bless the plebeians with her wisdom in a new memoir titled Time to Get Real. Because what the world really needed was another billionaire telling us how hard their life is.

Wainwright, who has taken not one but two companies public (because one just wasn't enough to feed her ego), is now offering us a glimpse into the 'messy realities of leadership'. Because, you know, nothing says 'messy' like sitting on a pile of money so high you need a ladder to get down.

According to early leaks, the memoir includes heart-wrenching tales of boardroom battles, the existential crisis of choosing between a third yacht or a private island, and the ultimate sacrifice: pretending to care about sustainability because it's good for business.

Highlights from the memoir include:

  • Chapter 3: 'The Agony of Deciding Which Champagne to Toast My Success With' - A tear-jerker about the hardships of luxury.
  • Chapter 7: 'Investors Just Don't Understand My Vision (Or My Need for a Gold-Plated Office)' - A deep dive into the struggles of being too ahead of your time.
  • Chapter 12: 'Fake It Till You Make It (Then Keep Faking It)' - The inspirational story of how confidence is just arrogance with better marketing.

Critics are calling it 'a masterpiece of first-world problems', with one reviewer noting, 'It's like Eat Pray Love, but for people who think philanthropy is a tax write-off.'

So, if you've ever wanted to know what it's like to be disgustingly wealthy while pretending to be relatable, this is the book for you. Just don't expect any actual realness unless 'real' now means 'out of touch'.
