Chris Christie has become very successful in recent years, but don’t get it twisted — for a long time, his wife, Mary Pat Christie, was the one bringing home the bacon. According to MSNBC, in 2013, Mary Pat contributed more than 71% of the couple’s annual income of $500,000. So, what does she do for a living? Well, Mary Pat received her undergraduate degree in finance and an MBA in business administration, and after she graduated, she went on to become an investment banker, per Christie 55 Solutions.
From 2012 to 2015, Mary Pat held an integral role at Angelo, Gordon & Co., a successful investment company, per The U.S. Sun. She held the title of managing director, which allowed her to bring in a whopping six-figure salary. But Mary Pat was willing to give it all up for her husband’s career. In April 2015, the businesswoman quit her job as speculation rose that Chris would throw his name in the running for the 2016 presidential race, per MSNBC. The former New Jersey governor did attempt to run for president, and Mary Pat was willing to help in any way she could. She told ABC, “This is a team sport, running for president. There’s nothing I’d rather do than help my husband.”
