Langone's money talks, and it's a big win for Christie.
He told CNBC that Christie is a better candidate than Jeb Bush because Christie can attract women and minority voters.
Langone also believes that Christie is the only Republican candidate that can beat Hillary Clinton, saying that America is ready for truth and direct talk.
However, a new poll out today showed Clinton beating all of the top GOP contenders, including Christie by a 50-39 percent margin.
