Early life and education

Gilbert was born to a Jewish [3] [4] family in Detroit, Michigan. [5] He grew up in Southfield, Michigan, where he attended Southfield-Lathrup High School. [6] He earned his bachelor's degree from Michigan State University and a Juris Doctor from Wayne State University Law School, and he is a member of the State Bar of Michigan. [7] While in college he earned a real estate agent's license, [8] and while in law school, he worked part-time at his parents' Century 21 Real Estate agency. [9]

Business career

Rocket Mortgage

Gilbert founded Rock Financial in 1985 with Ron Berman, Lindsay Gross and his younger brother Gary Gilbert. [10] In the late 1990s, the company launched its internet strategy, becoming an early online direct mortgage lender. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the company became the largest retail mortgage lender by volume in the United States. [11]

In 2000, software maker Intuit Inc. purchased Rock Financial and renamed the national web operation Quicken Loans. [12] In 2002, Gilbert and a group of private investors purchased Quicken Loans and its affiliated national title company, Title Source, Inc., from Intuit. [13] As of 2021, Gilbert was the chairman of Quicken Loans, Inc. [14]

In 2007, Gilbert and the city of Detroit announced an agreement to move the company's headquarters to downtown Detroit. [15] All 3,600 Michigan-based employees moved into Detroit's urban core by the end of 2010. [16]

In August 2020, Quicken Loans went public under the name Rocket Companies and made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "RKT". [17] As of 2020, Gilbert remained the majority owner, controlling 79% of the company's shares. [17]

Sports franchise ownership

In 2005, Dan Gilbert bought the Cleveland Cavaliers for $375 million, which was then a record price for an NBA team. [18] Since then, he has overseen significant improvements to the team's facilities and helped bring in top players like LeBron James.

In 2006, Gilbert also purchased the Cleveland Monsters, a professional ice hockey team in the American Hockey League. The team is affiliated with the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets.

Gilbert has been an active and vocal owner, often speaking out on social media and in public about his teams and the NBA. He has also been involved in efforts to bring major sporting events to Cleveland, including the NBA All-Star Game and the NFL Draft.

Gilbert's ownership of the Cavaliers has been marked by both success and controversy. The team won its first NBA championship in 2016, but also went through a tumultuous period after LeBron James left in 2018. Additionally, Gilbert has faced criticism for his treatment of former head coach David Blatt and for his aggressive pursuit of tax incentives and public funding for his various business ventures in Cleveland. [19] [20]

Overall, however, Dan Gilbert's ownership of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Monsters has been a significant part of his business and investment portfolio, and he remains a prominent figure in both the NBA and the city of Cleveland.

[28] [29]

Gilbert cofounded StockX, a stock market of things for high-demand, limited edition products such as sneakers. [30] Gilbert is also invested and involved in the operation of several consumer-based technology-centered businesses, including Fathead, Veritix, Xenith, StyleCaster and Quizzle. [31]

Gilbert launched nonprofit Bizdom in 2007, which promotes both tech and brick-and-mortar entrepreneurship in Detroit and Cleveland by supporting on-the-ground service providers. [32]

In November 2009, Gilbert and a group of partners successfully backed a statewide referendum to bring casino gaming to Ohio's four largest cities. Through a joint venture with Caesars Entertainment Corporation, the groups operate urban-based casinos in both Cleveland and Cincinnati. The first of the casinos, Jack Cleveland Casino, opened in May 2012. [31]

In 2013, Rock Ventures, the umbrella entity for Gilbert's investments and real estate holdings, announced it had formed Athens Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of Rock Gaming, and acquired the majority interest in Greektown Superholdings Inc., owner of the Greektown Casino-Hotel located in downtown Detroit.
