Hedge Fund Billionaire Ken Griffin Buys America's Most Expensive Home

Ken Griffin is showing how a billionaire goes on a shopping spree.

Just days after buying one of the most expensive residential properties in London, the Citadel founder set a U.S. record with the $238 million penthouse at 220 Central Park South. The approximately 24,000 square feet (2,200 square meters) apartment will give him a place to stay when he’s working in New York, a Citadel spokeswoman said. The price makes it America’s most expensive home.
