JB Pritzker children Teddi Pritzker and Donny Pritzker
Pritzker married Mary Kathryn “M. K.” Muenster in 1993, whom he met while working as an adviser to U.S. Senator Tom Daschle in Washington, D.C.
He has two daughters Teddi Pritzker and Donny Pritzker with his beloved wife. Unfortunately, there is not much information available with regard to their identities or personal life.
She is one of Theodore and Karen Muenster’s three children. Her father campaigned unsuccessfully for the United States Senate in 1990. They and their two children live in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Pritzker purposefully made a house next door to his home unusable by removing its toilets.
He then contested his initial property tax assessment because the newly constructed residence was uninhabitable; the Cook County assessor decreased the home’s value from $6.25 million to approximately $1.1 million, granting Pritzker an 83% property tax discount, amounting to approximately $230,000 per year. Federal prosecutors are looking into the situation.[1
