I am seeing 11 billion somewhere else. Also a former basketball player, he was on the Michigan St team that won the NCAA championship in 99

All about Former Michigan State basketball player Mat Ishbia net worth. Read the article to learn about the former Spartans player’s life as the CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage. Mat Ishbia net worth is currently over $11 billion, this information is a source through yahoo finance. Mat’s stake in the company currently stands at 70 percent of the total share, according to Yahoo Finance which allows him to earn this lavish fortune. But there was also a time where Ishbia could have been in a different place with his professional life, particularly as a coach.

I just changed it. Google told me something than Forbes said something else. I see more 11 than 6.

That's a hell of a difference. Hopefully he's down to spend that 11

I wonder if he's the sole owner or if he's in a group that bought it.

His brother, Justin is his business partner and is a billionaire in his own right. Maybe the brothers combined resources? That'd likely make the combo north of 20 billion if that's the case. Near Balmer levels......

The brothers put in a bid together for the Denver Broncos. I'm assuming this a joint bid too

I like it. One of my best friends went to Michigan St. and was an acquaintance of his in college. Said he was a good dude who LOVES sports.

Sarver, Doncic, now this guy. Suns change owners so often I can't keep track anymore.

Seriously though sounds like a great guy to be the next owner. Congrats!

Awesome. I see he took over as CEO of a company and then later to it public, and it was valued at 16 billion.

He has also contributed $32 million to Michigan St, their largest donation ever, and $1 million to cancer research.

Sounds like a solid owner, who likely will be more focused on the team than some Venture Capital form or someone involved in a large company (and multiple ones, including board seats) like Bezos or Ellison.

...and there we have it. If they are in the neighborhood of 20B that places them roughly 3rd place as richest in the league. Maybe even runner up to Balmer.

That works just fine. They're young (in their 40s) too so they'll probably spend.

Played with Jason Richardson on that championship team. I wonder if he is a Draymond Green fan...or Xavier Tillman or Bryn Forbes.
