Christian Sutton has held several high-ranking finance positions throughout his career. He served as a senior credit strategist at CreditSights and head of Latin America fixed income strategy at Germany-based Commerzbank Securities before joining investment management firm Pimco in 2008. He remains a fixture at the company, operating as its president, managing director, and global head of the credit research group, according to his PIMCO bio. Christian's role is the highest at the firm, likely gaining him a handsome salary.

Though it is unknown exactly how much Christian makes yearly with PIMCO, it has been speculated that he is earning over $300,000 annually. However, Christian also owns a timber company and two minor-league baseball teams. With his career and entrepreneurial endeavors combined, Christian is estimated to have an impressive $30 million net worth, which is how he has been able to pay his ex-wife Sutton Stracke so much in their divorce. As a result, this has elevated Sutton's own net worth to roughly $30 million as well.
