The fight for the position of the richest man in Canada is not so fierce since very few manage to get there. But this year, there was a historic turnaround in Canada’s rankings. Read on to find out who is the richest man in Canada and who has fallen hard in this ranking.
The #1 among the richest: learn his secret to having this net worth
The richest man in Canada is David Thompson, with an estimated net worth of $49,9 billion – according to Forbes. He also occupies the 24th position in the world ranking.
And if you’re wondering why he is so rich, the answer is: he was born this way. His family holds titles of nobility, and the Thomson surname carries prestige and fortune for generations in Canada.
David Thomson is the third Baron Thomson of Fleet, a peerage of his British heritage. He is currently the president of Thomson Corporation and Thomson Reuters. Despite having a degree in Arts, he pursued a career in business just like his father.
Although he sought independence by starting his own firm, Osmington Incorporated, most of his fortune is owed to his family heritage. However, he plans to hand over responsibility for the family business to another member and devote himself fully to his art and real estate investments.

He lost billions of dollars in a couple of months: what happened to the ex-richest man in Canada
This post would have been totally different a few months ago. The richest man in Canada was also one of the richest men in the world. Today, he is the second richest man in Canada.
Changpeng Zhao’s fortune was once very close to $100 billion, and he was ranked close to the likes of Larry Page, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos.
It turns out that Zhao was a billionaire in the cryptocurrency business. If you are familiar with the world of finance, especially the crypto market, you already know what happened.
Zhao is the CEO and founder of 1binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. With the colossal 70% drop in the value of Bitcoin, the value of his company plummeted with it. Today, its net worth is estimated at “only” $17.4 billion. He says he doesn’t care about numbers, but this remains an impressive number.
Zhao was born in China but moved with his family to Canada after being banned. He tried to settle again in China and later in the Cayman Islands. But he currently resides in Dubai.
