About Christopher Goldsbury

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.
