Ken Griffin Buys America's Most Expensive Home

Curious if anyone has any thoughts on his recent purchases. Is he moving away from paper assets because he sees a correction coming? Or is he just in the mood to buy and there's nothing more to it?

He's spent about 360M USD in real estate purchases in 2 weeks, the other one being a 122M mansion in London.

I think if he was "diversifying" into real estate, it wouldn't be in the form of just a few ultra-luxury properties. I think he's just buying nice things to have nice things, because billionaires can do that.

 

After the horrible period that many hedge funds just experienced, Ken here is just flexin'
