Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin and his wife, Anne Dias Griffin, have returned to the negotiating table on the day that their divorce trial was scheduled to begin.

Anne Dias Griffin has argued the pre-nup should be thrown out because she was coerced into signing it. Ken Griffin’s lawyers have argued the agreement should stand.
Earlier this year, Dias-Griffin said in a statement that her husband was fighting her child support demands in an attempt ‘to punish his family and avoid his clear responsibility under Illinois law to maintain his children’s lifestyle’.
The court has not revealed the details of the settlement.
He also owns a $15million penthouse condo at the Park Tower in Chicago, four Palm Beach properties worth $130 million, and a vast Balinese-style, beach-front property at the Hualalai resort in Hawaii which he purchased in 2011 for around $17million.
Court filings show that Griffin, who is in the midst of a divorce, rakes in $68.5 million a month after taxes, according to the Times.
They had been due to go to trial this week but instead the couple entered settlement talks.
On top of that, he’s being credited as the buyer of Faena House’s $60 million penthouse, which broke all residential records in Miami when it closed two weeks ago.
But, a source close to the deal leaked his identity to the New York Times, according to an article the newspaper published Saturday.
We can see why the wife is angling for more money!

A spokeswoman for Cook County Circuit Court confirmed that Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel in Chicago, settled the case on Tuesday, dissolving his marriage with Anne Dias Griffin. He made $3.9 billion between 2009 and 2013, according to Alpha.
