On inheritance: Your links only repeat the well-established fact that his father, Heinz Berggruen, was a billionaire art collector. While one would imagine that Nicolas inherited some if this money, I don't see any articles that actually make that claim. You need that article, or else you are doing WP:Original Research. But for most readers, pointing out that this was his father will lead them to draw the same conclusion you have.
On partygoer: Yes he has been documented at various parties, but I think his description as a billionaire includes that. At the most you could maybe describe him as a socialite.
On Party Boy: Just because a blogger calls him that once is no justification for Wikipedia to do so. It is not encyclopedic. Stick to saying he is a socialite or that he frequently appears at and hosts exclusive parties featuring rich and famous guests. If Wikipedia readers want to think of him as a "Party Boy" based on the verifiable facts presented, that's their business.

Above this section, there are many requests to include material that is inappropriate for the article. Rather than try to respond in those sections, I will respond here. The proposed material is trivial - and in some instances not even well sourced - and should not be added. Whether he at one time lived out of hotels and had the silly label "homeless" applied by some media is inconsequential and may no longer be true anyway. As for parties he has either given or gone to, none of that is noteworthy. Whether he made his money through investment or inheritance, or a combination of the two, again it is not of any moment and does not belong in the article.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 20:52, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

While one would imagine that Nicolas inherited some if this money, I don't see any articles that actually make that claim. You need that article, or else you are doing WP:Original Research. But for most readers, pointing out that this was his father will lead them to draw the same conclusion you have.
On partygoer: Yes he has been documented at various parties, but I think his description as a billionaire includes that. At the most you could maybe describe him as a socialite.
On Party Boy: Just because a blogger calls him that once is no justification for Wikipedia to do so. It is not encyclopedic. Stick to saying he is a socialite or that he frequently appears at and hosts exclusive parties featuring rich and famous guests. If Wikipedia readers want to think of him as a "Party Boy" based on the verifiable facts presented, that's their business.

Above this section, there are many requests to include material that is inappropriate for the article. Rather than try to respond in those sections, I will respond here. The proposed material is trivial - and in some instances not even well sourced - and should not be added. Whether he at one time lived out of hotels and had the silly label "homeless" applied by some media is inconsequential and may no longer be true anyway. As for parties he has either given or gone to, none of that is noteworthy. Whether he made his money through investment or inheritance, or a combination of the two, again it is not of any moment and does not belong in the article.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 20:52, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

How exactly does he qualify for being a philanthropist? He bought a supermarket chain for next to nothing, then was not willing to put his own capital into it thus condemning thousands of people to losing their jobs. Sounds more like a locust to me than a philanthropist. That charity thing he has going on looks more like eyewash to me. 87.159.85.71 ( talk) 00:29, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
