Imagine you are rich and stay obese; you're like a drug addict, food is your drug, not sustenance.

In 1993, Pritzker married Mary Kathryn "M. K." Muenster, whom he had met in Washington, D.C., when she worked as an aide to U.S.
Senator Tom Daschle. 219 She is one of three children of Theodore and Karen Muenster. Her father unsuccessfully ran for the U.S.
Senate in 1990.(220] They live in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood with their two children. [56]221] They also reside in the Illinois
Governor's Mansion in Springfield.

During the 2018 campaign, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Pritzker had intentionally caused a mansion he had purchased next
door to his home to become uninhabitable by removing its toilets. He then appealed his original property tax assessment 222) because
the newly built property was uninhabitable; the Cook County assessor reduced the home's value from $6.25 million to about $1.1
million, which granted Pritzker an 83% property tax reduction, equal to about $230,000 per annum.1223] The Cook County inspector
general accused Pritzker of a scheme to defraud the county. 224] Pritzker called the controversy a political attack and stressed that the
county regulations had been followed, but paid the county treasurer $330,000 to reimburse the amount of the property tax
reduction. 224] Federal authorities later opened an investigation into the matter. (225)

According to Forbes, in 2024 Pritzker had an estimated net worth of $3.7 billion.

The Pritzker family is an American family engaged in various business enterprises and
philanthropy, and one of the wealthiest families in the United States (staying in the top
10 of Forbes magazine's "America's Richest Families" list since the magazine began
such listings in 1982). Its fortune started in the 20th century, particularly through the
expansion of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation by Jay Pritzker.

Family members still largely own Hyatt and prior to its sale to Berkshire Hathaway, the Marmon Group, a conglomerate of
manufacturing and industrial service companies. [11 They have also had holdings in the Superior Bank of Chicago (which collapsed in
2001), the TransUnion credit bureau, Braniff airlines, McCall's magazine, and the Royal Caribbean International cruise line. 2]
The Pritzker family is of Jewish descent 3] and based in Chicago I4] Yakov "Jacob" Pritzker (1831-1896), was the manager of a sugar
factory in Kyiv Governorate in the territory of modern Ukraine. At first he lived with his family in the village of Velyki Pritzky, then in
Kyiv. He and his family immigrated to the United States from the Russian Empire towards the end of the 19th century, to escape the
pogroms there.

In 1995, Jay Pritzker stepped down and Thomas Pritzker took control of The Pritzker Organization. 4 When Jay died in 1999, the
family split the business into 11 pieces worth $1.4 billion each 4] (choosing to settle a lawsuit from two family members, who
apparently received $500 million each in 2005).718[91 By 2011, the dissolution had been completed and the cousins had gone their
separate ways, with some pursuing business and others philanthropic or artistic ventures [10] According to Inside Philanthropy, many
Pritzkers have numerous vehicles or foundations for giving philanthropically.

I agree with this 100%. The guy likely doesn't move much when not on camera. He eats like shit no doubt. Easy in Chicagoland with food, but christ do you look in the mirror in the morning?

I get some belly fat and freak out and change my eating habits. Never obese, just overweight at times. Usually winter. Summer I'm pretty lean for my height. I just can't get past the fact there's probably a mirror in his bathroom and he walks by it naked for a shower and thinks it's okay? No self awareness?

I'll just fast and only eat dinner when I get tanky. JB just eats more apparently.

When asked about $1.4 million in "gambling winnings" on his tax return, Gov Pritzker said it was from a lucky streak in Vegas. Right.

I knew a judge who had regualr jaunts to Las Vegas to play poker. My first thought was gambling 'winnings' was they way to feed bribes. How can you argue with 'good luck', even if it defeats all probability?

Anyone in law is a gambler. Dad was an attorney. If he was't putting up $10k/mo he was sick or actually worked. Females not so much, but attorneys and judges are huge gamblers.
