Mary Pat Christie was born in 1963 in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, into a large Irish Catholic family. She is the ninth of ten children. Mary Pat attended the University of Delaware, where she was elected class president for the Class of 1985. Her future husband, Chris Christie—former Governor of New Jersey and presidential candidate—was class president in 1984. She later earned an MBA from Seton Hall University in New Jersey.
Mary Pat met Chris Christie while they were both students at the University of Delaware. The couple married and later settled in Mendham Township, New Jersey. They have four children: Andrew, Patrick, Bridget, and Sarah. To maintain stability for their children’s education, Mary Pat chose for the family not to move into the official Governor’s Mansion in Princeton. Chris Christie has often credited his wife's successful career as an investment banker for allowing him to pursue public service roles that paid modestly.
Mary Pat Christie built a successful career in investment banking, eventually becoming a managing director at the Wall Street investment firm Angelo, Gordon & Co. She was the primary earner in the family, reportedly making $500,000 out of the couple’s total income of $700,000 at the time. She later stepped down from her position to spend more time with her family.
At the time of the September 11 attacks, Mary Pat was working at a Wall Street investment firm located just two blocks from the World Trade Center. During the chaos, cell phone networks were down, and she was unable to contact her family. Chris Christie later described those hours as among the most difficult of his life. It took Mary Pat four hours to evacuate to New Jersey via ferry. She was eventually reunited with her husband, still soaked from exposure to decontamination spray used on survivors.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Mary Pat took a three-month leave from work to establish and lead several charitable initiatives, including the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, New Jersey Heroes, and the Drumthwacket Foundation. These organizations focused on disaster recovery and community support. Her fundraising expertise was instrumental not only in these efforts but also in supporting her husband's 2015 presidential campaign.
Mary Pat was actively involved in Chris Christie's campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. When a blizzard hit New Jersey during the campaign, Governor Christie returned home to manage the crisis, while Mary Pat continued on the campaign trail, representing him at scheduled events. Her leadership and adaptability highlighted her prominent role in the campaign.
With a long-standing career in finance and ongoing involvement in public service, Mary Pat Christie's estimated net worth exceeds $5 million. Her commitment to both her family and civic causes solidifies her reputation as a dedicated and accomplished public figure.
