KENNETH C. GRIFFIN – RESIDENTIAL PURCHASES – NYC AND CHICAGO

 

Kenneth Griffin, born October 15, 1968 is an American billionaire hedge fund manager, entrepreneur and investor. He is the founder, chief executive (CEO), Co-Chief Investment Officer (Co-CIO) and majority owner of the investment firm Citadel. 

Griffin owns an expansive private luxury real estate portfolio valued at around $1 billion. 

In 2019 Griffin set the record for the most expensive residential sale ever closed in the U.S., when he purchased roughly 24,000 square feet across three floors at 220 Central Park South for $238 million. The space was “raw space” meaning Griffin had to build it out. 

In 2017 Griffin, who is a resident of Chicago, purchased a penthouse apartment atop the No. 9 Walton, a luxury condo tower, for $58.75 million. The purchase broke the record for the most expensive sale in Chicago’s history. 


220 Central Park South is a residential skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, situated along Billionaires' Row on the south side of Central Park South between Broadway and Seventh Avenue. 220 Central Park South is composed of two sections: a 70-story, 950-foot tower on 58th Street that is the 17th-tallest building in New York City, and an 18-story section on Central Park South.
