A nthony Pritzker is an American businessman and an heir to the immense Pritzker family fortune. He is one of several billionaire cousins in the Chicago-based dynasty that created the Hyatt Hotels chain and the industrial conglomerate, Marmon Group. The family's wealth was built by his grandfather A.N. Pritzker and expanded by his father, Donald Pritzker, and his uncles, Jay and Robert Pritzker.
After a family decision to divide the vast family empire in the early 2000s, Anthony and his brother, J.B. Pritzker (the current governor of Illinois), co-founded The Pritzker Group, a private equity firm. Anthony leads the firm's private equity arm, Pritzker Private Capital, which focuses on acquiring and growing middle-market companies in the manufacturing and services sectors. He has successfully used his share of the family inheritance to build a new and successful investment business, continuing the family's legacy of entrepreneurship and dealmaking.
