Guess who’s at the top of the billionaire heap
March 22nd, 2017
Ken Griffin has again been ranked the state’s wealthiest resident. He’s even richer than he was last year. Griffin, the founder and CEO of Citadel investment firm, saw his fortune grow by half a billion dollars to $8 billion, according to Forbes’ list of the wealthiest people on the planet. Chicago businessmen Sam Zell and J.B. Pritzker, who rank second and third among Illinois billionaires, saw their wealth rise as well.
