Billionaire Dan Gilbert can ride up and down Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit and admire his work like no one else can. He can point at buildings like a kid checking out baseball cards in a collector’s showcase and say “got it, need it, got it, got it…”

Thankfully, Gilbert can count his properties and his blessings as he is almost fully recovered from a 2019 stroke.
