Lol that's always BS.

Hey man it was me that took my dad’s $6m loan. It was also me that showed up to the interview with the bank manager he set up who is also a close friend of his. And it was me that signed the papers.

I worked my ass off to get to where I am today. None of which would have been possible without all the hard work I had to do! What a risk I took!

So yeah, self made millionaires totally exist! I’m living proof.

Unless you printed the money yourself you're not "self made" you got your money from other people. To get that money you depended on a society that is wealthy enough and connected enough to be capable of giving you millions of dollars in exchange for whatever you're selling. Most of that capacity, both in baseline social wealth (health, education, and stability) is paid for through taxes. TAX THE RICH UNTIL THEY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

Yup. $39.5 mil when you include they purchased the lot next door too.

Never mind the fact the gov't didn't include Whistler in the new foreign ownership rules. 😠

Even someone on the sunshine list (100k) would need to work for 320 years to gross that amount.

A cardiothoric surgeon (highest paid medical professional in Canada) would need to work 53-80 years to gross that amount.

Two cardiothoric surgeons who live together, assuming AB taxes, would need to work for 64 years each to net that amount.

So the two hardest working (by pay) people in this country together could not afford this house in their lifetimes.

I know your joking but in case people don’t get it: rich comes from luck, not from hard work.

Don’t work any harder than you have to, thinking it helps. It doesn’t change the statistical chance of you becoming rich.

Many people will say you can help along the luck. Those people are dumb.
