Chris Christie, New Jersey’s fanciest man, will spend $85,000 on a portrait of himself in honor of his gubernatorial term. Don’t worry, though—it’s not his money. It’s the taxpayers’! The official portrait will cost more than his three predecessors’ paintings combined, by the count of the Record, which originally reported the amount based on documents it obtained.

Patron of the arts Chris Christie has a long and hallowed career. As U.S. attorney for New Jersey, he was one of five federal prosecutors who “exhibited noteworthy patterns of improperly exceeding the government rate” for hotels. This is from the Department of Justice’s tribute to the U.S. attorneys called “A Review of U.S. Attorney Travel That Exceeded the Government Lodging Rate.” As governor, Christie sealed his legacy by sunbathing on a beach while his constituents were locked out of it due to a budget deadlock. Future history books are practically writing themselves.

As Christie always says: it’s nice to the support the arts! And the portrait artist who will do the honors is Australian Paul Newton, so at least the paycheck isn’t going to an American.
