Citadels Ken Griffin criticizes Zohran Mamdani over use of penthouse for tax plan pitch

Citadel’s Ken Griffin Responds to Zohran Mamdani’s Use of His Penthouse in Tax-the-Rich Video.

Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel, has taken issue with Zohran Mamdani’s recent use of his penthouse in a video promoting a tax plan targeting wealthy New Yorkers.

According to reports, Mamdani featured the $238 million penthouse in his video, which aimed to raise awareness about the proposed tax on high-income earners.

In response, Citadel has announced that it will be halting its expansion plans in New York, citing concerns over the proposed tax.

The move is seen as a rebuke from Griffin and his company against Mamdani’s use of their property for the video.

Meanwhile, some politicians have expressed support for the proposed tax, with upstate Democrats pushing for a pied-à-terre tax outside of NYC.

As the debate surrounding the tax plan continues, wealthy New Yorkers are expressing concerns about the potential impact on their lifestyle and investments.

The proposed tax is expected to be a contentious issue in the upcoming election season.
