Those wondering how Christian Stracke makes enough money to provide his ex-wife with a generous alimony won't be surprised to learn that he serves as the global head of credit research at investment management company PIMCO, as per the company's official website. Visitors to Christian's bio learn that in addition to his credit research position, he is also a managing director in the Newport Beach office and a senior portfolio manager. While he has worked at PIMCO for over 13 years, his background is in the same field. He holds previous positions at CreditSights as a senior credit strategist and Deutsche Bank, where he headed local market strategy among Latin American countries. 

This impressive résumé has led to a whopping net worth. While his yearly earnings from PIMCO are currently unknown, Exact Net Worth estimates that his accumulated wealth from 24 years in the investment industry comes out to around $30 million. Incidentally, Sutton Stracke shares the same stunning net worth. It also seems that she benefits greatly from her ex-husband's earnings. In an episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," the boutique owner revealed to fellow housewife Lisa Rinna that Dolce and Gabbana gift her with a tiara every year for her birthday (via Starcasm). An interview in the same episode shows Lisa commenting, "Sutton's ex-husband is into hedge funds, who knows, money stuff. When they divorced she had no idea she would be set for life."
