(2019-01-25)Billionaire hedgefunder Ken Griffin has amassed this assembly of over 13 acres of prime Palm Beach oceanfront property at a cost of over $250M. He has torn down the existing properties with plans to build a single residence. Construction had begun in 2017, with plans for the home to be larger than a football field, only to be halted, apparently with new plans for the home under way.
In January 2019, Griffin went on to spend $122M on a 16,000 sqft London townhouse and a record breaking $238M on a 24,000 sqft Manhattan penthouse in the still-under construction 220 Central Park South tower. Griffin also owns two homes in Hawaii's Four Seasons Hualalai, and a $58.75M penthouse in No. 9 Walton in his hometown of Chicago.
