Pritzker is also on the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. She serves as trustee of Stanford University. She’s an advisory board member of Robert Rubin’s Brookings Institution’s Hamilton Project. This, folks, is a major insider. Forbes lists her wealth at $1.7 billion. Her father co-founded the Hyatt Hotel chain.”
