Ken Griffin is expected to pay an additional $1.3–$1.4 million annually under New York City's pied-à-terre tax.
The pied-à-terre tax targets second homes worth at least $1 million, with rates from 4% to 6.5%.
Griffin owns the 220 Central Park South penthouse, bought for about $238 million in 2019.
City officials estimate the pied-à-terre tax could generate $340–$500 million in annual revenue.
Critics warn the tax could slow luxury housing sales and reduce city revenue if buyers pull back.
The tax was passed as part of the state budget with support from Mayor Mamdani.
Griffin criticized the tactic Mamdani used in a viral Tax Day video.
Other high-profile owners like Jeff Bezos could also be affected by the new tax.
The policy could shift wealthy residents' behavior, potentially reducing luxury investment in New York.
Mayor Mamdani framed the tax as part of a 'tax the rich' agenda during a viral video.
