Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines recently as they were seen mingling with billionaire Ken Griffin and super networker Michael Kives during their trip to Las Vegas.
The couple attended the closing concert of Katy Perry’s residency at the Resorts World Theatre on Saturday, where they were spotted in the audience.
Reports had already suggested that the Sussexes were accompanied by oil company heir Michael Hurd and entrepreneur Whitney Wolfe on their trip.
Now, it has been revealed that they also spent time with investors Ken Griffin and Michael Kives.
Griffin, the founder of hedge fund Citadel, is estimated to be worth a staggering $34 billion according to Forbes.
He has been recognized as a major republican donor by CNBC News.
During the concert, Griffin was seated next to Prince Harry, which sparked speculation about their connection.
However, a representative of the hedge fund investor clarified that it was merely a coincidence.
It is worth noting that Griffin is part of a group currently bidding to acquire the Telegraph, as reported by New Report.
While it may have been coincidental for Ken Griffin, insiders claim that Meghan Markle’s seating arrangement was intentional.
It is believed that WME, an agency she is associated with, strategically placed her next to the billionaire.
Observers found it intriguing to witness the conversation between Harry and Griffin, especially as Harry expressed his interest in press censorship and his involvement with the Aspen Institute.
In another interesting development, Ken Griffin has joined forces with the owner of GB News in a bid for the Telegraph.
This collaboration has drawn attention to Stanford University, which has faced criticism for its partnership regarding election integrity.
Harry’s involvement in a panel discussion with a representative from Stanford Internet Observatory has raised eyebrows.
During the event, Harry reportedly made an inappropriate comment, asking Griffin about the value of his mansions, reminiscent of a scene from Kevin Costner’s movie.
This exchange, coupled with Harry’s lack of regular visits to his father, has led some to question his business acumen and reputation.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle requested that Harry sit next to their friend Misha, allowing her to sit beside Ken Griffin.
Meghan was keen to engage in conversation with the billionaire, but Harry declined, preferring the comfort and company of his male companion.
Critics have suggested that Meghan joined WME, an agency known for its connections to wealthy individuals, to gain access to more affluent circles for personal gain.
Some argue that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s attempts to associate themselves with billionaires only serve to portray them in a negative light.
They suggest that if the couple had remained discreet millionaires within their social circle, they could have maintained an air of class and elegance.
Instead, they are seen as desperate and trying too hard to keep up with the elite.
In conclusion, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s encounter with billionaire Ken Griffin at Katy Perry’s concert has sparked both intrigue and criticism.
While coincidences and intentional arrangements have been debated, their association with wealthy individuals continues to be a topic of discussion.
