Nicolas Berggruen net worth 2012, From the headline, you may be wondering how it’s ever possible for a billionaire to be homeless. Well I’m sure there are people who were once millionaires that have squandered away inheritances and fortunes,
but we call those people broke…and stupid! But Nicolas Berggruen is a different character. Forbes estimates his net worth to be in excess of $2 billion, but he doesn’t own a home! Don’t feel sad for him just yet. He’s been called the “homeless billionaire” because he prefers living out of five-star hotels to keep the scenery fresh.
Owning a home is so much trouble these days, we fathom he would think. Berggruen is a bit of a jet-setter, and his business and philanthropic adventures have taken him to Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, New Delhi, Zurich, and Antarctica on his personal Gulfstream jet just in the last 3 months. Berggruen, 50, is the founder and president of Berggruen Holdings and the Nicolas Berggruen Institute. He’s the son of famed art collector
Heinz Berggruen, who donated some prized paintings from artists like Picasso and Klee to museums in Berlin. The holdings firm was started to manage the family trust that has made several investments in businesses since its inception. This perpetual jet-setter has never been married, and boasts that he will give most of his wealth to charitable causes:
Other people might have family — three kids or five houses. In my case, that doesn’t exist. I’m going to give everything away. Everything has been transferred to charitable trusts. There is no question about that. The question is where, not if.
