Illinois Governor’s Shocking $1.4 Million Blackjack Windfall in Las Vegas Raises Eyebrows and Questions
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is the living embodiment of the phrase ‘the rich get richer.’
Since becoming the 43rd governor of Illinois in 2019, Pritzker has not taken a salary, and that decision was likely made easier given the fact that he has a net worth of nearly $4 billion as an heir to the Hyatt Hotels Corp. family fortune.
Not taking a salary doesn’t mean that Gov. Pritzker has not made an income over the years, and in 2024, his earnings included quite a note.
According to tax filings released by his campaign, Gov. Pritzker and his wife, MK, made $10.6 million in taxable income in 2024, which includes $1.4 million in gambling earnings. He told reporters on Thursday that he was “incredibly lucky” during a trip to Las Vegas.
