A billionaire GOP megadonor is threatening to throw a $6 billion hissy fit because a Democratic mayor was mean to him.

New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has targeted the uber-wealthy with a new tax on homes worth north of $5 million.

Hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin’s megapad in Manhattan comfortably meets that threshold.

He bought the penthouse in 2019 for $238 million, making it the most expensive home in American history.

But Griffin, who Forbes estimates is worth a cool $50.7 billion, is reportedly rankled that Mamdani stood outside the property and used it as the poster boy for his new “Tax the Rich” scheme.
