An unknown buyer just paid $34.4 million for a condo at 220 Central Park South, the Billionaires' Row tower in New York City where Ken Griffin bought a $238 million penthouse in January. Griffin's purchase broke the record for the most expensive home ever sold in the US.

But Griffin isn't the only billionaire in the building, which borders the southern end of Central Park and is still under construction.

Here's a rundown of the other ultra-wealthy hedge funders, executives, and heiresses who have bought (and in some cases, already sold) units in 220 Central Park South:

  • Singer Sting and wife Trudie Styler, purchase price and date unknown
  • Hong Kong heiress Karen Lo, purchased Sting's apartment for $50 million in 2018
  • Och-Ziff Capital Management chairman Daniel Ochs, purchase price and date unknown
  • Arel Capital founding partner Richard Leibovitch, purchased a $26.2 million unit in December 2018
  • Brazilian construction billionaire Renata de Camargo Nascimento, purchased a $30.191 million unit in January 2019
  • Cavalry Portfolio Services chairman Andrew Zaro, purchase price and date unknown
  • Paramount Group chairman Albert Behler, purchased a $33.5 million unit in February 2019

Many of the tower's major transactions went into contract in 2015, when the Manhattan real-estate market was stronger than it is today, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The 79-story tower, designed by Robert A.M. Stern, is expected to be completed later in 2019 at a total estimated cost of $1.4 billion.
