Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin reaches divorce settlement

The paper noted the purchases coincide with his messy and expensive divorce from wife of 11 years, Anne Dias Griffin.

Griffin, 46, filed for divorce from his wife Anne Dias-Griffin in July 2014 and the two have been fighting over the prenuptial agreement which she claims she signed under duress ever since.

That includes two floors of Chicago’s Waldorf Astoria for a little under $30 million, three floors at New York’s “billionaire’s bunker” at 220 Central Park South for about $200 million, and Faena House’s penthouse in Miami, for $60 million – $10 million above asking price.

Also last month, Griffin went $10million over the asking price and dropped $60million on a Miami Beach penthouse at the luxurious Faena House.

The couple were due in a Chicago court Wednesday morning for the start of what was being billed as the “hedge fund divorce trial of the century”, to fight over the validity of their prenuptial agreement.

Court filings show that Griffin, who is in the midst of a divorce, rakes in $68.5 million a month after taxes, according to the Times.

The couple have three children so child support and living arrangements will also be under discussion.

Perhaps in an attempt to avoid airing dirty laundry, the confidential settlement was reached right before Dias-Griffin was set to publicly testify in their native Chicago that she was entitled to more of Griffin’s $6.9 billion fortune because she signed her $40 million prenup under duress!

Earlier this year, he paid another $15.2 million for 70 Blossom Way.

And the couple has a few pretty tony real estate on Palm Beach’s South Ocean Boulevard.

A spokeswoman for Cook County Circuit Court confirmed that Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel in Chicago, settled the case on Tuesday, dissolving his marriage with Anne Dias Griffin.
