Pritzker’s 2024 Taxes Show $1.4 Million Vegas Blackjack Win, $10.7 Million Income

The partial release highlights ongoing limits on transparency around his trust‑held wealth.

Overview

  • His campaign says the gambling haul came from blackjack in Las Vegas during a vacation with his wife and friends, and he will donate the winnings to charity.
  • Only summary pages were released rather than full federal and state returns or trust filings, leaving key financial details undisclosed.
  • Trusts benefiting him paid about $30.2 million in federal taxes and $4.5 million in Illinois taxes in 2024, according to the campaign.
  • Pritzker takes no gubernatorial salary and also reported sizable capital gains, dividends, and interest for 2024.
  • The disclosure lands as he runs for a third term in 2026 and draws new scrutiny given his 2019 law expanding gambling in Illinois.
