"Billionaire Nicolas Berggruen harbors a distaste for baggage, real and emotional. At 50, Berggruen is without a house, a car or even a wristwatch. He never married, nor does he have any children. He hopscotches around the globe living out of hotels. As Berggruen's wealth grew, he became disillusioend with what it could buy. A decade ago, he began paring down his lifestyle, selling an island estate in Florida and an apartment in New York. His somewhat limited wardrobe is now scattered across the world, stored at his favorite hotels. He loaned his art collection to museums - a move that left him free to drift from one city to the next aboard his private jet, the one item he deems too 'practical' to discard."
