Mamdani wants New York’s billionaires to cough up more money. Maybe he should call Florida and ask how they’re getting them to hand it over voluntarily.

Because Miami just scored a $3 billion pledge from billionaire Ken Griffin, with $2 billion earmarked for a brand new Carnegie Mellon campus in the city, according to Forbes.

The massive commitment represents Griffin’s latest investment in Miami’s evolution into a major center for finance, technology and entrepreneurship. The Citadel founder is directing the bulk of the money toward establishing Carnegie Mellon in South Florida, adding a major research university to the city’s rapidly expanding business ecosystem.

Under the plan announced Wednesday, Carnegie Mellon will develop a 35-acre campus in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. Work on the project is slated to begin in 2027, with the first graduate students expected to arrive in 2028.
