Ken Griffin's $238 million New York City penthouse isn't the only pied-à-terre he owns. See what else is in his portfolio.
Read Original Source
Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has made his disapproval of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax known. Now, it looks like he'll have to pay it. The joint proposal from Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul to tax multimillion-dollar second homes passed on Wednesday, and will be incorporated into the state's budget. Single-family homes worth $5 million to $15 million will be subjected to a 0.8% surcharge; homes worth between $15 million and $25 million will be taxed an additional 1.
AI Summary

- His New York property at 220 Central Park South is the country’s most expensive condo sale, but it is only one part of his larger portfolio.
- Griffin also owns major properties in Palm Beach, Miami, Southampton, Hawaii, London, and St. Tropez.
