A Company tied to Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager, Ken Griffin, paid $37 million for a double-lot on Miami Beach’s Star Island, where a number of multimillion-dollar sales have closed in recent months.

Stuart Miller, executive Chairman of Lennar Corp., sold the property at 11 and 12 Star Island Drive to 11 Star Island LLC, a Delaware company that lists Citadel’s Chicago address, property records show.

Griffin is founder, CEO and co-chief investment officer of Citadel, a Chicago-based hedge fund that’s been operating a temporary trading room in Palm Beach during the pandemic. Griffin owns some of the most expensive residential properties around the world. In South Florida, he owns two penthouse units at the ultra luxury condo building Faena House in Miami Beach, and has assembled land in Palm Beach for more than $350 million.

If you’ve been following the S-Class furor, you’ve likely heard that the new Merc is a technological tour de force. Five screens, biometric security, facial recognition—what’s not to love? But, while we’ve all been focusing on the car’s cool gear, we may have overlooked the most impressive aspect: its cabin.

The luxurious interior, which is now detailed in full on the marque’s website, promises more space, greater comfort and a good dose of practicality. In true Mercedes fashion, it looks good, too. The automaker has created a “lounge-type” ambiance by contrasting soft leathers—quilted and perforated, of course—with hard materials, like high-quality wood veneer. This is further enhanced by active ambient lighting and soundscapes that change depending on your mood. Simply say, “Hey Mercedes, I am stressed,” for example, and the car will automatically trigger the “Joy” program to lift your spirits.

Further to this, the “Energizing Coach,” which is available with the optional “Warmth & Comfort” package, can suggest an appropriate fitness or wellness program based on vehicle and trip data. It can also factor in information about sleep quality and stress level if you have a compatible smartphone or fitness bracelet. Basically, the car targets numerous senses at once to help you feel more alert and/or refreshed.

The cabin even has its own signature scent, because, why not? The car’s nifty filtering system uses activated carbon and an ionizer to provide the best air quality, before infusing the space with a special S-Class fragrance. Click here to read the full Article.
