Quiet wealth in Metro Detroit? 9-figure families still left?

[middetres]

There are plenty of billionaires in Metro Detroit that don't make any of these lists either.

In order for Forbes to estimate your worth, there has to be a paper trail.

That usually means buying and selling stock.

If all your wealth comes from a privately-held company, then Forbes has nothing to work with.

Metro Detroiters tend to be low-key about their wealth. Unless they want the notoriety, most keep the depths of their wealth pretty quiet.

No kidding, wealth makes you a target for thieves and gold-diggers. Why on earth would anyone want to deal with those hassles unless you have to. Look at those poor schmucks on TMZ, I would not want their lives.
