CHRISTIE IS TOP-FIVE FOR HIGHEST PAID GOVERNORS

New Jersey pays its governor well. Gov. Chris Christie is the fourth highest paid according to Stateline. The data shows that three states reduced what they paid the state’s highest executive, which moved Christie up. Christie also receives a $75,000 stipend along with two homes, one of which serves as a summer residence. Previous Gov. Jon Corzine was wealthy enough that he took only $1 per year.
