Daniel Milstein was born to a Ukrainian-Jewish family in Kyiv, Ukraine, which was then known as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[4] He was 10 years old when the Chernobyl nuclear plant blew up 78 miles north of his home in Kyiv, Ukraine, forcing a mandatory evacuation in 1986 and eventually political refugee status. He then moved to America.[2] Milstein wrote 17 Cents and a Dream, about his family’s emigration to the United States. He wrote about his family’s arrival and starting from nothing to building Gold Star Companies. Milstein has written three other books including[1] Rule #1 Don’t Be #2, released in 2017.[5]

Milstein graduated from Cleary University before founding Gold Star Financial Group in 2000.

They were on Inc.’s 2009 list of 500 Fastest-Growing privately-held companies and Crain's Detroit Business NewsLetter named Milstein on their list of "40 Under 40 in Detroit”.[6][7][8]

Milstein was a friend and interpreter of Pavel Datsyuk before becoming his agent[9] and managed negotiations for Datsyuk’s retirement from the NHL. After that, Milstein became the agent for several other Russian NHL players.
