2020 was a good year for Michigan billionaires – the richest gained $45 billion


On Aug. 5, 2020, Dan Gilbert was worth an estimated $7.5 billion. On Aug. 20, he was worth $45 billion.
Forbes released its annual World Billionaires List this week, noting 86% of the world’s wealthiest people are richer than they were a year ago. The world now has 2,755 billionaires, 660 more than last year.
2020 was a good year to be a billionaire – and Michigan’s richest were no exception.
Gilbert, co-founder of Quicken Loans/Rocket Companies and owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, was the biggest winner. Most of the increase is credited to his company offering shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the first time in early August.

Check Out 9 Billionaires From Michigan That Made Forbes Richest


In 2020, the world saw the largest growth of billionaires ever according to the 35th annual Forbes World's Billionaires List.  The list of billionaires jumped to a staggering 2,755 people, 660 more than in the previous year.
Of those 2,755 billionaires, 9 live right here in Michigan, including the 23rd richest person in the world, Dan Gilbert.  Most of the other Michiganders that made the list are pretty recognizable names, including Hank & Doug Meijer of Meijer, Marian Ilitch of Little Caesars, and Roger Penske of the Penske Corporation.
But, one lesser known name on the list, has a very interesting back story.  Mat Ishbia is the CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage, based in Pontiac, but he is also a NCAA Basketball National Championship winner.  That's right, he was on Michigan State's 2000 National Championship team.  He also competed in four Final 4 games during his time as a walk-on for the Spartans.
