As Reddit users and day traders continue to pump up the stock price of video game retailer GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME), Southeast Michigan billionaire Donald Foss has emerged as one of the clear winners in the now days-long boom.
Foss, 76, was the founder of Southfield-based subprime auto lender Credit Acceptance Corp. (NASDAQ: CACC) and retired in 2017. A regulatory filing shows that on Feb. 28 Foss acquired just over 3.5 million shares of GameStop on a day when the stock closed at $3.60, a value of more than $12.65 million. Foss held about 5.3 percent of the company.
