Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin is well known for snapping up real estate in jaw-dropping and record-setting deals. Among his most notable acquisitions is a Manhattan penthouse that set a national price record and, because his holdings go far beyond that one landmark purchase, solidified his place among the top buyers of eight- and nine-figure trophy homes.

As founder and majority owner of Citadel LLC, Griffin oversees tens of billions in assets, and his 80 percent stake in Citadel Securities—a dominant player in U.S. equity trading—has helped fuel a personal fortune estimated at $48 billion. His wealth powers a growing portfolio that, in addition to some of the country’s most expensive real estate, includes museum-caliber art, a 308-foot Viva superyacht previously owned by UFC co-founder Frank Fertitta, and a pair of private jets: a Bombardier Global Express and a Global 6000.

Griffin is also one of the country’s most prolific philanthropists, having donated more than $2 billion to education, science, medicine, and the arts. His gifts include hundreds of millions to top institutions, including Harvard, the University of Chicago, and New York’s Museum of Modern Art.

In 2022, he made waves by relocating Citadel’s headquarters from Chicago to Miami, accelerating the city’s rise as a finance hub. But in real estate, Griffin’s approach is less about following trends and more about setting them. He doesn’t just collect marquee properties—he assembles entire enclaves, stacking penthouses, buying up neighboring lots, and stitching together adjoining parcels across Palm Beach, Aspen, Hawaii, and beyond.

From oceanfront estates to city penthouses and mountain retreats, his residential holdings offer a glimpse into the life of one of finance’s most influential figures.
