Citadel is reconsidering a $6 billion New York City expansion after Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly supported a new tax targeting wealthy property owners.
The mayor cited Citadel founder Ken Griffin’s luxury penthouse purchase as an example, prompting Citadel’s COO to criticize the move as 'shameful' and politically motivated.
Citadel highlighted its significant tax contributions and charitable giving, warning that such rhetoric could affect its commitment to the city and future investments.
