Chris Christie Is Working for Free for Steve Cohen’s NY Mets
- Eponymous consulting and law firms paid him $2.4 million
- ABC News paid ex-governor $475,000 for political commentary
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made $2.4 million from his law practice and a consulting firm, but his gig as a director of baseball’s hapless New York Mets didn’t pay him a dime, his financial disclosure shows.
Christie joined the team’s board in March 2021, according to the report released Thursday by the Federal Election Commission. That was a little more than four months after hedge fund manager Steve Cohen completed his $2.4 billion purchase of the team, which failed to make the playoffs despite having the highest payroll in Major League Baseball.
