While in New Hampshire seeking to boost his presidential prospects, Gov. Christie said Friday that he did not consider himself wealthy.
No, I dont, he told a reporter. The remarks were broadcast and posted online by NJ.com. I dont consider myself a wealthy man. Wealth is defined in a whole bunch of different ways.
Christie and his wife, Mary Pat Christie, reported nearly $698,838 in income in 2013. About $475,000 of that income came from Angelo, Gordon & Co., an investment firm where Mary Pat Christie is a managing director.
Christie said in New Hampshire that Mary Pat and I have worked really hard, weve done well over the course of our lives. But you know we have four children to raise, a lot of things to do. He also said that most people dont think of me as wealthy.
