Since he owns Quicken Loans without partners [[I believe?)... "10's of billions" that he would get in an IPO would by far make him the richest billionaire in Michigan. Right now the Meijer's are the richest at $7 billion, and Gilbert and the Ilitches are almost tied at $6 billion for 2nd/3rd spot.
He could still maintain majority ownership and be worth tens of billions.
If he still wants to put all his "eggs" in the Detroit basket... it could be mind boggling the amount of additional investing he could do here.
