    Well he is a curious counterpoint to Trump.

    "With a net worth of $3.6 billion, Pritzker is or was the richest politician in office in the US. He is one of 13 billionaires in the Pritzker family."

    They own the Hyatt hotels of course.

    I come from a wealthy family, it's an awful lot of work and expectation growing up.

    Some digging:

    Governor J.B. Pritzker and Donald Trump are both billionaires, but their personalities, political styles, and approaches to leadership are strikingly different.

    Pritzker comes from an old-money family (the Hyatt Hotels fortune) and has a reputation as a pragmatic, policy-focused Democrat. He tends to present himself as a problem-solver rather than a showman, focusing on infrastructure, social programs, and fiscal management. While he enjoys wealth and privilege, he generally avoids Trump’s brand of brash self-promotion.

    Trump, on the other hand, built his image on aggressive branding, media spectacle, and personal dominance. His leadership style is more confrontational, focused on loyalty, and thrives on conflict. He often emphasizes his personal achievements over collaborative governance.

    Pritzker leans into a technocratic, policy-driven approach, while Trump thrives on populist, personality-driven politics. Even their speaking styles reflect this—Pritzker is measured and detail-oriented, whereas Trump is impulsive and rhetorical.

    one built wealth the other inherited it. pritzker is pushing residents and businesses out of the state. some counties want to secede to indiana.

    I'm sorry, you think Trump didn't inherit wealth? And the other didn't build on wealth?
