How Did Daniel Gilbert Get So Rich?

Daniel Gilbert wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth - he's a self-made billionaire. Back in 1985, he co-founded the company that would eventually become Quicken Loans - now the largest home loan originator in the United States. (He was just 22 at the time - chew on that!) He now also owns the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers. Gilbert is a Michigan State grad, and got a law degree from Wayne State University as well. Born in Detroit, he now makes his home in Franklin, Michigan.

Gilbert's $18 billion is a lot of money, but according to Forbes, there are 91 people in the world who are even richer than that! You can peruse their whole list here.
