Ken Griffin recently sold two full-floor condos at Chicago's prestigious No. 9 Walton Tower to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for $19 million. This transaction marked a significant financial loss for Griffin, who had purchased the properties for over $34 million in 2017, representing a 44% drop in value.
