Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin isn’t just investing in stocks, he’s also investing in politics — to the tune of $40 million in the upcoming midterm election cycle, according to a report.
Griffin, who made more money than any other hedge fund manager last year — raking in $2 billion in 2021 alone — has also become the No. 1 donor to Republican causes, according to the Wall Street Journal’s tabulations.“I’ve had multiple colleagues mugged at gunpoint. I’ve had a colleague stabbed on the way to work,” Griffin, who is based in Chicago, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. “That’s a really difficult backdrop with which to draw talent to your city.
“Too many of America’s business leaders stay out of politics today,” Griffin said “They have to be engaged because they understand the ramification of policy decisions: I’m building a business; I’m running a factory; I’m creating jobs. They just can’t continue to be silent.”
