Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and his wife, Mary Kathryn Muenster, reported a joint adjusted gross income of $10.7 million, up from $2.8 million in 2023.
A notable portion — $1.45 million — came from gambling winnings, including games at a Las Vegas casino, according to a campaign spokesperson, though specific games were not disclosed.
Pritzker, heir to the family that founded Hyatt Hotels, has an estimated net worth of $3.9 billion. Analysts note he may be laying groundwork for a 2028 presidential run.
Pritzker has also expanded gambling in Illinois, signing 2019 legislation that legalized sports betting, authorized six new casinos, and allowed additional slot machines in bars and restaurants.
