Taraji P. Henson, newly engaged to Chicago born and raised former NFL player Kelvin Hayden, took in $1.429 million on the sale of a 2,159-square-foot, high-floor condo in the same luxury high-rise in Chicago’s upscale Streeterville neighborhood where late last year she surreptitiously snapped up a somewhat larger unit on a slightly lower floor for $1.925 million. Unfortunately for the 2009 Oscar winner (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons”) and 2016 Golden Globe winning “Empire” star she barely broke even on the three bedroom and 2.5 bathroom 38th-floor urban aerie she picked up in May 2015 for $1.408 million and first made for sale in late 2017 at $1.525 million.
