When billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin paid $238 million for a Manhattan penthouse, he wasn't simply buying one of New York's most luxurious apartments. The Citadel founder was purchasing one of the most expensive homes ever sold in the United States, in a deal that immediately captured attention across the luxury real estate world.
Griffin bought the enormous residence at 220 Central Park South, located on Manhattan's famed Billionaires' Row. The four-storey penthouse spans approximately 23,000 square feet and occupies the 50th through 53rd floors of the skyscraper. Architectural Digest described it at the time as America's most expensive apartment.
