Meet Michigan’s Billionaires: These Michigan Citizens Made Forbes Richest List

We all want to be rich. You probably already have a game plan for what you'd do if suddenly you ended up with a windfall of money.

Personally? I'm donating half to various charities, and then I'd take the rest and fill a swimming pool with coins and swim through it Scrooge McDuck style.
