Biography
- Christopher "Kit" Goldsbury's fortune comes from selling salsa maker Pace Foods to Campbell Soup for $1.1 billion in 1994.
- Goldsbury worked on the assembly line at Pace in 1969, two years after marrying founder David Pace's daughter Linda. He became president in 1977.
- After Goldsbury and Linda separated in 1987, Goldsbury purchased her half for $95 million, a fraction of what he sold it for seven years later.
- The San Antonio billionaire is backing the revitalization of the downtown Pearl neighborhood through his private equity firm Silver Ventures.
