Manuel Moroun
Manuel Moroun was a prominent American businessman and billionaire known for his ownership of the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario. His influence in the region's infrastructure development was substantial, particularly regarding cross-border trade.
