		To be a Pritzker was to understand that the family fortune, built over the years through investments like the Hyatt hotel chain, belonged to all.
		Pritzker is a household name in Chicago, the city where penniless Russian immigrant Nicholas J. Pritzker made his home in 1881, raising three sons who helped build a vast family fortune.
		Jay Pritzker was trying to avoid exactly this type of problem when he called relatives together in 1995 to chart the Pritzker future, said Mel Klein, a longtime business partner and friend.
