Default Who is the "undisclosed" Quintess Forbes 400 Investor?

Here is a fun contest:

Who do you think is the "undisclosed Forbes 400 investor" that provided $210 million in equity to Club Holdings, LLC, the parent company of Quintess, LRW?

Quintess has been kind enough to divulge one choice tidbit: the investor’s fortune comes from real estate.
$210MM would seem to suggest to me they are towards the top of the list.

after removing multiple sources and families its down to 21 >

23 Donald Bren______13.0 / 75 / Newport Beach, CA
68 Stephen Ross_____4.5 / 67 / New York, NY
79 Leonard Stern_____4.1 / 69 / New York, NY
117 Donald Trump____3.0 / 61 / New York, NY *
130 Melvin Simon____2.9 / 80 / Indianapolis, IN
165 Theodore Lerner__2.5 / 81 / Chevy Chase, MD
195 Edward Roski Jr__2.3 / 68 / Los Angeles, CA
220 Neil Bluhm ______2.1 / 69 / Chicago, IL
239 Alan Casden_____2.0 / 61 / Beverly Hills, CA *
239 Harry Macklowe__2.0 / 70 / New York, NY
239 Sheldon Solow___2.0 / 79 / New York, NY
239 Jerry Speyer_____2.0 / 67 / New York, NY
271 Jorge Perez______1.8 / 57 / Miami, FL [condos] *
271 A Alfred Taubman_1.8 / 83 / Bloomfield Hills, MI
286 Igor Olenicoff____1.7 / 65 / Newport Beach, CA
297 Richard Peery____1.6 / 67 / Palo Alto, CA
317 John Arrillaga____1.5 / 70 / Palo Alto, CA
317 Carl Berg________1.5 / 70 / Atherton, CA
317 Steven Roth______1.5 / 65 / New York, NY
317 Tamir Sapir______1.5 / 60 / New York, NY *
317 Herbert Simon____1.5 / 72 / Indianapolis, IN

(all "real estate" except Perez)
(* = youngest. range is 57>83)

could also narrow by past risk tolerance.

Several of my friends have had real estate business deals with Jorge Perez and Donald Trump and they are the last people that want to remain anonymous.

i would tend to agree with that. OTOH for perez it would be a huge stake of his net worth. how much is it down from $1.8B because of the overall real estate market in florida? so there might be reasons to hide that large of an investment from competitors in the real estate or destination club markets.
