Billionaire pays for 1,200 employees to go on all-expenses trip to Disney World

Some bosses buy their staff a Christmas card, maybe even a Christmas present or, if they're super lucky, an annual cash bonus.

However, one billionaire boss has put all other bosses to shame with his extremely generous gift to 1,200 members of his company - by treating them to an all-expenses-paid trip to Walt Disney World in Japan.

Where do we sign up?

Citadel and Citadel Securities recently celebrated the companies' 20th and 30th anniversaries, and CEO Ken Griffin decided to generously cover the costs of a impressive three-day trip for employees from six Asia Pacific offices, including offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo.

The incredibly kind gesture means that staff and their families will get to enjoy the adventure of a lifetime at Walt Disney World Tokyo and Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea.

Bloomberg reported that 300 children also attended the trip.

And if that wasn't enough, each one was upgraded to queue jump passes, meaning no waiting in lines for rides like Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean, according to a Citadel spokesperson.

Lucky them.

One-day passes to the park range between $52.75 to $72.78 per person - so the cost quickly adds up to around $100,000 for just a single day.

But that wasn't all Griffin had up his sleeve as they were also treated to private performances from Maroon 5 and Calvin Harris.

According to Insider, Griffin, whose net worth is $36 billion, spoke at the ceremony before Maroon 5 were welcomed onstage, saying: "Today, the range of talent we have brought together is simply astonishing.

"We've created not one, but two firms at the forefront of the industry. Together, we have imagined and built the future of finance."

How nice.

But staff at Citadel and Citadel Securities are pretty well acquainted with Griffin's generous nature.

Last year, he flew his US and European workforce to Disney World Orlando, similarly covering the cost of flights, hotels, park tickets and meals for 10,000 staff and their family members.

These staff were also treated to a star-studded concert featuring the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Diplo and Coldplay.

I wonder if he'll reveal his music connections - just asking for a friend.

And Griffin isn't the only billionaire who has spent a huge chunk of money on others.

In May, Robert Hale, CEO of Granite Telecommunications, decided to give 2,523 UMass graduates $1,000 at their graduation ceremony.

The money was given in two different envelopes, each containing $500 - however, there was a catch.

"There are two sets of envelopes: One says 'Gift' and one says 'Give'." he said in his commencement speech. "The first is for you, the 'Gift' is for you. The 'Give' is also for you, but it's to give."

Adding: "Share in the joy of giving. Congratulations, Beacons!"
