Citadel chief Kenneth Griffin outbid a group of crypto investors for a copy of the US Constitution

Chicago hedge fund billionaire Kenneth Griffin said he won a $ 43.2 million first edition of the US Constitution at a Sotheby’s auction on Thursday – and now plans to lend it to a free art museum in Arkansas.

The 53-year-old founder and CEO of Citadel attracted attention on Thursday when he outbid a large group of cryptocurrency investors who had crowdfunded more than $ 40 million earlier in the week in an insane attempt to win the document, the latest surviving first edition in private hands .
