Mat Ishbia is on the cusp of becoming a billionaire at age 40

I just read that Mat's brother Justin is investing a bunch to buy the suns too. Blows me away that he is a billionaire. His first day on the job working for me I asked him to check on the mens room. He came back and said the lights were off and he could not find the switch. I told him it was on the right. He held up both hands and eyeballed his right hand. I guess he was just making sure. Now he owns the Phoenix Suns

Just read in Forbes he was worth 4 billion at end of trading the day Ishbia took the company public. Mat was worth 12.

“ and UWM began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Ishbia, who rang the opening bell, sold 6% of the company to a SPAC managed by billionaire investor Alec Gores, raising $925 million in cash at a $16 billion valuation. At the end of trading Friday, Ishbia’s 70% stake was worth $12.6 billion, enough to make him one of the 50 richest people in America. His brother Justin’s smaller stake is worth $4 billion. ”

I bet Greenway knows his right from his left but doubt he will ever own a NBA team

I’m going to (bounce) pass on the NBA because my goal is to own the Tigers and Comerica Park. And I will as soon as Lego gets off its ass and creates one.

I remember at the end of 114-63 Ishbia was talking shit to a U of M player. That was awesome.

Speaking of billionaire NBA players, I found out couple of months ago that a girl I knew in high school (she also went to MSU) married Bill Davidson's son. One of those, "I wish I would have kept in touch with this person" moments.

Why would Dan Gilbert abstain from voting? They got beef with the mortgage thing?

They definitely got beef

I volunteer as mistress.

I wonder if Gilbert wrote his abstention in comic sans. He's a tool.

I'll say it. He kinda is.

I don’t think you make a billion dollars without being a dick somewhere some way. Maybe there’s some billionaires out there that managed not to piss someone off, but I’d bet against it.

Exactly

I piss people off on the daily. Referring to yourself in the third person is particularly douchy.

Durant to Suns?

Matt Ishbia does not like Dan Gilbert.

Billionaire cat fight.

They should try to beat each other funding nils for tuck/izzo... that's the only REAL place they can compete properly.

I don't like either one of them.

How often have you met them?

Met? Never. But Dan did write me a nasty note in comic sans when I left his company for a job in Florida.

That’s certainly a reason, especially if it was done for all to read. But you haven’t met Ishbia and have no reason to dislike him.

I knew Mat when he was at MSU and he was a good enough dude. Maybe a little cocky. But as Dwags pointed out earlier, money changes people. Especially crazy, stupid money. Hell, the process of becoming so filthy rich is almost certain to crush some other people along the way.

So I can certainly see ( and have heard) why some think he's a dick.

I knew Mat when he was at MSU as well and was actually drinking in his hotel room after the National Championship game with some friends that were a mutual connection. He also went to high school with my girlfriend at the time and she knew him pretty well.

Edit: Dave Ellis was his roommate on road trips. That guy was a fucking douche!!!

I generally don't like rich white men unless and until they give me a reason to believe otherwise.
