In 2018, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie procured a beachfront property in Bay Head for $2.9 million. Not stopping there, he poured millions more into demolishing the original structure, erecting a more majestic residence in its place over the next four years.
The real estate's value has since soared, currently estimated at over $5.5 million on Zillow.While Christie's ambitions have recently shifted towards the White House, questions surround how the Republican candidate is financing such lavish expenses.
Since vacating the governor's seat, his official earnings seem hardly sufficient. The annual salary for a New Jersey governor stands at $175,000. An insider remarked, "It's puzzling how he maintains this upscale lifestyle post-governorship."
Christie's Luxurious Upgrade Christie's new house, finalized in 2022, boasts an impressive 7,000 square feet of living space, a marked upgrade from the original 4,000 square-foot property.

Documents reveal that his presidential campaign activities amounted to expenses of $193,890, borne by taxpayers.

Now tell us about Biden, Nouman.
Whatever. I’m watching for the huge book advance followed by large speaking fees.
As I said before I believe the virulent Trump haters to be seriously compromised.
And Pelosi. And Sanders.
Maybe Christie gets a share of George Washington Bridge tolls?
“As I said before I believe the virulent Trump haters to be seriously compromised.”
They all seem to have bribe money. None live within their incomes. Chris “Donut Dolly” Christie definitely seems to be on the take.

Does it have freight elevator to get him up and down all those floors?
I hope he installed an elevator. Those steps are going to wreak havoc on his knees with his weight.

It costs money to widen doors, hallways, add reinforcement to joists etc.
Everyone knows that Christie is being paid by leftists and Republican neocons to trash Trump
As for the price of Chris Christie's beach house—your own private in-house Krispy Kreme
bakery doesn't come cheap.
What about inheritances? I know a lot of people, including myself who have seen their net worth increase when elderly parents die.
Housekeeping in a 7000 sq ft house isn’t cheap.
Something is amiss.
If the author of this slop had bothered to do his research, he would have reported that Christie’s wife has worked in senior management roles at top Wall Street investment banks for years.
Beautiful! Love it.
Classic American political class payola.
Washington D.C. is most corrupt city in the entire history of human civilization.
And it’s not even a close call.
Gotta wonder how he affords a place like that. Property taxes are probably 40k or more a year.
