The executive also has the top two floors in the Park Tower in New York.
Illinois' richest man Griffin, who settled a contentious divorce in 2015 with his second wife, Anne Dias Griffin, bought each floor individually, according to public records.
Griffin shelled out $21.7 million for the 38th floor penthouse unit, by itself. He nabbed the 37th floor for $12.95 million, and the 36th floor for $12.13 million.
The 35th floor went for $12.5 million, and included 7,100 feet of the total square footage.
The properties were sold by JDL Development to Griffin's Delaware business called 9 West Walton Holdings, which has headquarters in Chicago at the Citadel office.
Griffin runs Citadel, a hedge fund based out of Chicago that handles more than $27 billion in assets.

The Harvard graduate founded Citadel in 1990, but began his trading career while he was still hitting the books in Massachusetts in 1987.
He reportedly put a satellite dish on the roof of his dormitory so he could get real-time stock quotes.
The father-of-three also owns one of Wall Street's biggest market makers, Citadel Securities.
In 2014, he donated $150 million to his alma mater in Cambridge to support need-based financial aid - the largest gift Harvard University had ever received at the time.
In honour of his generosity, the Harvard College Office of Financial Aid was been renamed the Griffin Financial Aid Office and its director is now referred to as the Griffin Director of Financial Aid.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
