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.
This luxurious dwelling, which spans four floors, includes multiple balconies and a two-car garage. The former home's description painted a picture of a "summer haven with a sun-kissed sunroom and a serene backyard featuring a pool and spa."Interestingly, this house isn't far from the birthplace of Scientology and is a neighbor to a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member from one of Christie's cherished bands, The Record.Though Christie publicly declared his initial home purchase as “nobody’s business” in 2016, his financial activities during his tenure as governor were more scrutinized.
Documents reveal that his presidential campaign activities amounted to expenses of $193,890, borne by taxpayers. Moreover, a legal challenge was once raised, alleging Christie unduly burdened New Jersey taxpayers with his security expenses during his presidential aspirations, though this case was eventually dropped.Post-governorship, Christie briefly joined ABC News and penned a book, "Let Me Finish", in 2019.
Amidst the 2020 pandemic, he embraced lobbying, earning $240,000 while representing medical establishments...

Every damn one of them is compromised.!
Trumps crime......he turned on the kitchen light and the roaches scrambeled.
You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
“And Pelosi. And Sanders.”
Yes, and Kerry, and McConnell, and Romney, and Biden, and Clinton, and Clinton, and Clinton, and Mueller, and Obama, and Freeh, et al.
The entire DC cabal of scumbags has been scheming our tax dollars out as foreign aid and then laundering it back through any number of grift and fraud schemes as one could imagine.

It has an Elevator.

Chris Christie has zero ideas for helping the Middle Class.
He’s a member of the media and a freakin’ Lobbyist selling DC Contacts.
He wants endless money for Ukraine and could care less about the plight of people struggling with ridiculous rents, college tuition costs, automobile costs or the Taxes he likes so much. His kids will get jobs from FatCats only because of their name. He doesn’t care about the jobs your kids will work, and that’s why you never hear him mention it.
Funny how so many politicians have spouses who are tied to Wall Street...🤔

You’re absolutely right.
The Middle Class will always be asked to give more. We’re in trouble.
A beach house should be simple. His sounds gaudy & tacky.
Four floors?
I hope fatso installed an elevator to get those trays of 25 dbl-cheeseburgers upstairs.
I just wiki’d him & was shocked that he’s only 60!
Easy. As impossible as it sounds, I would have to say Chris Christi is probably in somebody’s pcocket
You should have the thread first, before commenting on the 4 floors and elevator. The bit about the tray of 25 dbl-cheeseburgers, was OK, though.
Another example of why climate change is a scam.
