Are you ready to learn more about the man Business Insider dubs “George Soros lite?”
Nicolas Berggruen, a billionaire who roams around the globe, living out of five-star hotels, is working incessantly to change the way Western governments operate. Bloomberg’s Jeremy Kahn describes the roots of his nomadic existence:
…in 2000, Berggruen sold his houses, put his art collection in storage and gave away or sold most of his possessions, including his car. He says his decision to live a rootless existence wasn’t a means of dodging taxes; he says he pays them in the U.S.
Berggruen, who made his billions by growing a $250,000 trust fund that his father (a wealthy art connoisseur) gave him, is being compared to Soros because of some of his policy recommendations, his passion for politics and his urge for a more integrated Europe. Plus, the generous billionaire has devoted funds to support American Democrats — yet another fact that makes a comparison between him and Soros worth exploring.
