Who owns Trans Union?

A reader asked, so I thought I'd post a couple links.

Trans Union is owned by the Marmon Group and it is owned by the Pritzker family.

According to Forbes:

"# 19 on Largest Private Cos. 2001 , # 20 on Largest Private Cos. 2000 , # 21 on Largest Private Cos. 1999"

CEO Robert Allen Pritzer:

"Net Worth: $5,500 mil"

"With nephew Thomas, runs 99-year-old family empire, recently blemished by investment in now-insolvent Superior Bank. Robert and brother Jay (d. 1999) inherited business started by grandfather Nicholas 1902. Robert oversees Marmon Group conglomerate; Jay's son Thomas heads Hyatt hotel chain. Other holdings: Royal Caribbean Cruises, real estate."

Hi, the net worth of TU was stated in Cousin v. TU. I believe that it was 449 million, somewhere in the 400's. That was mid-late 90's.
