But estimating what he pays in state income taxes to the Illinois treasury—dependent on Griffin's residency, where and how that income is earned—is harder to estimate, and as an individual earner, not publicly available. But according to a source familiar with the matter, Griffin has paid more than $1 billion in state income taxes over the last 10 years. We don't know, however, if all of that figure was paid to Illinois. Griffin's Citadel already had a presence in other states and the man himself is building opulent homes in New York City and Miami.
