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.

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.

Chris Christie didn’t build a company that produces auto parts or microchips, he got on the Gov’t dole and met a lot of people that wanted to do him favors. When he was bounced out with the lowest Gov Approval Rating in history, he sold himself to companies that he could get Votes in DC to get their legislation approved.
He sold access and has never done a thing in his life for the American people.
If you notice, whether it’s Trump as Prez, Biden, or Barack Obama - he’s gonna hug and kiss on that sitting Prez.
I was thinking the same things about obammy’s 4 mansions.
How can he afford them on a president’s pension? How could he buy them on a president’s salary?
That might be why DC's grifters hate Trump so much...
So he’s a kept man
Trashing Trump pays very well on PravdABDNC.
My goodness, he has small feet!
How does PEDO JOE AFFORD 3 MANSIONS????
Christie reminds me of Paul Ryan and how he became a multimillionaire overnight. Maybe it was a tax refund.
“he would have reported that Christie’s wife has worked in senior management roles at top Wall Street investment banks for years”
As a grifter. Politically connected people get such high paid bribery schemes for a job.
