The Homeless Billionaire

“At the end, the key thing is you’ve got to live with yourself. That’s the real test. Everything else is fleeting.”

The founder and president of Berggruen Holdings Nicolas Berggruen is known for being a “homeless billionaire.” That is because he doesn’t actually own a home, as he prefers to stay in hotels. Nicolas Berggruen stated that material possessions don’t satisfy him and are more of a burden to his lifestyle. Instead, he wants to focus on giving his money to charity to make an impact.

Nicolas Berggruen is a true workaholic who devotes his time to as many projects as he can. Always on the go and always in a rush.

Did you know that Berggruen uses any item that he owns until it literally falls apart? Reportedly, most of his clothes are “fraying at the cuffs and collar”, but Berggruen continues wearing them until they tear.
