Meg’s Attempt to Sit Next to Billionaire Ken Griffin Backfires

Meghan Markle was caught trying to shoo Prince Harry away to secure a seat next to billionaire Ken Griffin at a recent concert, only to be shunned by the wealthy businessman.

The Sussexes' spokesperson fueled rumors by revealing that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen socializing with Ken Griffin and super-networker Michael Kives during their recent trip to Las Vegas.

The couple jetted off to Nevada to attend Katy Perry's closing concert at the Resorts World Theatre last weekend, where they were spotted in the audience enjoying the show.

Reports had initially hinted at the presence of oil company heir Michael Hurd and entrepreneur Whitney Wolfe joining the couple on their trip.

However, it has now emerged that Prince Harry and Meghan also spent time mingling with investors Ken Griffin and Michael Kives.

Griffin, the founder of hedge fund Citadel with an estimated net worth of $34 billion according to Forbes, found himself seated next to Prince Harry at the concert.

Known as a major Republican donor, Griffin's philanthropic endeavors have garnered attention from CNBC News.

On the other hand, Kives, who was seated behind Prince Harry and Meghan during the concert, is known for running the investment firm K5 Global.

Previously associated with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) as a talent agent, Kives' former clients reportedly included renowned singer-songwriter Katy Perry.

Despite the seating arrangement, a representative of the hedge fund investor clarified that Griffin's proximity to Harry was purely coincidental.

Interestingly, Griffin is part of a consortium eyeing a bid to acquire the Telegraph, as reported by New Report.

While the encounter seemed fortuitous for Ken Griffin, insiders suggest that Meghan Markle's positioning was more deliberate.

Allegedly, WME secured seats strategically, anticipating the guests surrounding them.

An insider hinted at Meghan's interest in engaging with Griffin, while Prince Harry sought conversation with him regarding press censorship and his involvement with the Aspen Institute.

Notably, Ken Griffin's collaboration with GB News owner for the Telegraph bid adds another layer of intrigue to the story.

During the event, Harry's behavior raised eyebrows when he tactlessly inquired about the value of Griffin's properties, reminiscent of Kevin Costner's infamous “friends with no manners” remark.

The exchange, where Harry probed Griffin about the worth of his mansions and beach house, showcased a lack of etiquette, further diminishing his credibility in business circles.

Meghan's attempt to maneuver her seating arrangement to engage with Griffin highlighted her aspirations to network with influential figures.

Critics have lambasted the couple for their apparent eagerness to associate with billionaires, portraying them as out of touch and desperate in their pursuit of wealth and status.

The shift from royal life to mingling with high society has drawn criticism, with suggestions that maintaining a low-key, affluent lifestyle would have been more tasteful.

As the saga unfolds, the Sussexes find themselves embroiled in a narrative of social climbing and misplaced priorities, tarnishing their once-regal image.
