Goldman director’s wild parties riles co-op board

Goldman Sachs Director Richard Kimball Jr. has annoyed his neighbors with a series of wild parties at his $30,000-a-month West Village penthouse — leading board members to discuss a move to oust him.

Wall Street king Kimball has bothered other residents at 99 Jane St. with rowdy bashes in his $16 million rented apartment. One neighbor told Page Six, “There have been a lot of parties and a lot of noise. There have been complaints.”

Another said, “I don’t want to get involved in how he lives his life, but it is upsetting people.”

Other sources said Kimball has “a new lease of life” since his 2009 divorce from Holly Peterson, author of “The Manny” and daughter of Blackstone Group Chairman Pete Peterson.

“Rick used to be so reserved, but since the divorce, he is a different person. He has gone over the top with the partying,” said one source.

His penthouse bashes have included flowing champagne and legions of scantily clothed girls, according to Wall Street blog Dealbreaker.

Sources say the building’s co-op board wants Kimball out, but it isn’t clear what if any action it’s taken.

Last year, we revealed that Kimball had attracted the attention of Southampton police with rowdy pool parties, at least one of which involved topless women, at his summer rental.

His five-bedroom Jane Street penthouse is another party palace with a 60-foot living room, unobstructed views of the Hudson and a 4,500-square-foot rooftop garden.

Kimball didn’t respond to repeated calls, and his rep declined to comment, as did the penthouse owner, Bruce Bent II, son of Reserve Fund founder Bruce R. Bent. Co-op president David Feldman and Goldman Sachs did not return calls.

A broker for the penthouse said that it was not currently available for rent or sale but that “that might change.”
