Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin has completed the purchase of a penthouse on New York's Central Park South for $238million - the most ever paid for a home in the United States.
The building, 220 Central Park South, is a residential skyscraper that is currently under construction. Developed by Vornado Realty Trust, the building will have 70 floors and a total of 116 residential units by the time construction is completed.
The penthouse which Griffin is buying went into contract - meaning an offer was made and accepted - in 2015, but sales of this magnitude take years to close, according to real estate experts.
It comes just days after Mr Griffin bought the exclusive $124million 3 Carlton Gardens in St James's, near Buckingham Palace in London, which had been on the market for the past two years for $163.5million.
EDITOR’S NOTE: If the filthy rich can spend money that way, they deserve to be taxed at 70 percent like socialist-democrat Alexandira Ocasio-Cortez proposes.
