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

Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin brought his appetite for marquee homes to London, shelling out 95 million pounds ($122 million) for a historic mansion near Buckingham Palace.

Citadel LLC founder Griffin bought 3 Carlton Gardens, a 200-year-old home that overlooks St. James’s Park about half a mile from the Queen’s residence. The Georgian-era home built in the 1820s was redeveloped by property developer Mike Spink in a venture with Evans Randall Investors.
