Mat Ishbia

Ishbia won a national title as a Michigan State basketball team benchwarmer in 2000 before joining his father’s mortgage lender. Thanks to some $60 billion of loans issued quarterly, CEO Ishbia took United Wholesale Mortgage public in January via a $16 billion SPAC, the biggest in history. In September, Ishbia announced that UWM would sponsor MSU’s men’s basketball and football players with $500 monthly stipends for a year.
