Billionaire CEO Ken Griffin, leader of the global asset management company Citadel, is doing some end-of-year asset managing of his own, snapping up the entire 37th floor of the Waldorf Astoria building for $13.3M, the Tribune reports. Griffin's big residential buy ranks second in stratospheric Chicago real estate sales for 2014, behind Sanjay Shah's $17M Trump Tower penthouse purchase, but hopefully his two full-floor penthouses in the nearby Park Tower serve as consolation. Previously purchased for $6.9M by Chicago Mercantile Exchange president and CEO James McNulty in 2010, the unit was never publicly listed, but it includes high ceilings and a 360-degree view. We don't have photos of Griffin's unit, but these previous listings can provide points of comparison for the new digs of Illinois' richest person.
