Inside Ken Griffin's rise to becoming one of Wall Street's most powerful people — and what's next. To set the stage for how powerful of a figure Griffin is in the world of finance, I'll hand things over to Insider's Dan DeFrancesco, who writes our 10 Things on Wall Street newsletter (sign up for it here!): 2022 was another banner year for both Griffin's hedge fund (Citadel posted $28 billion in revenue and a 38.1% return on its main fund) — and his trading firm (Citadel Securities nabbed $7.5 billion in revenue, per the WSJ).
