Citadel, the investment firm founded by billionaire Ken Griffin, has fired back at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he featured Griffin's $238 million penthouse in a video promoting his "tax the rich" agenda. The video, which went viral, showed Griffin's luxurious Manhattan apartment as an example of the kind of wealth that Mamdani believes should be subject to higher taxes. In a statement, Citadel accused Mamdani of "misleading" the public and using Griffin's personal property for "political grandstanding." The exchange highlights the growing debate over wealth inequality and taxation in New York City, with Mamdani and other progressive politicians pushing for increased taxes on the wealthy to address budget shortfalls and social issues.
