Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt hotel chain, has a net worth of $3.9 billion, tied for No. 382 on the Forbes 400 list of the nation’s richest people. A campaign spokesperson said via email that Pritzker planned to donate the money to charity but did not respond when asked why he hadn’t already done so.
It’s 0.03% of his networth…
The average net worth in his state is 189k.
So propertionally it would be like an average constituent winning $66.
Which isn’t nothing, but it puts his priorities in perspective when he held onto it. Most people would buy a round of drinks for their friends…
But that’s not how you get in any of the lists Forbes publishes. You get on those list caring about your high score more than literally anything else.
