Person profile
Founder and chairman of Rocket Companies
"Valued as of" is the effective date of the market closes, exchange rates, and filings inside the estimate. "Sources checked" is when the pipeline last verified those sources successfully. A weekend check can confirm a Friday valuation without inventing weekend movement.
As of September 4, 2026, Dan Gilbert's estimated net worth is about $16.0B(16.0 billion US dollars). That places Dan Gilbert at #17 among the people Net Worth Leader currently tracks.
This is an estimate of assets minus documented liabilities. It is not a cash balance, and many holdings may be restricted, pledged, illiquid, or difficult to value.
Dan Gilbert founded Rock Financial in 1985 and turned its successor, Rocket Mortgage, into the largest US mortgage lender before listing Rocket Companies in 2020. After the 2025 collapse of the company's umbrella structure, his economics are held as Class L shares, which rank equally with the public Class A shares and are valued at the Class A price.
Gilbert sold Rock Financial to Intuit in 1999, bought it back in 2002, and rebuilt it around online lending. Rocket Companies absorbed Redfin and Mr. Cooper in all-stock deals in 2025, which expanded the share count and diluted his percentage while he kept every share.
The estimate tracks Rocket Companies' share price applied to roughly 1.14 billion Class L shares. Changes to the count come from reported transfers rather than market sales.
Dan Gilbert's estimate declined mainly because Rocket Companies, Inc. shares decreased from the prior comparable close.
A one-day estimate change is not the same as income, profit, or a realized gain or loss.

Liabilities without a documented value are never shown as zero; they are simply not included, and that limitation is part of source coverage below.
100.0% of this profile's modeled gross value is supported by Tier 1 or Tier 2 evidence (primary filings, official documents, licensed market data, or audited accounts). The profile carries a strong coverage label.
No meaningful range beyond the central estimate is supported for this profile, so only the central value is published. Unknown liabilities are not evidence that no liabilities exist. No personal liability is documented for this profile, so none is deducted.
The timeline runs from June 12, 2026 to September 4, 2026; the latest estimate is higher than the first point. Points before August 20, 2026 are labeled modeled reconstructions: today's reviewed ownership records applied to the closing prices of each earlier market date. Published history begins August 20, 2026 and grows one point per completed market date.
