For whatever reason, the masses seem to always be intrigued with the wealthy and very successful people of the world. Could be due to jealousy, could be just sheer entertainment. One thing is for sure, the interest grows even more when the wealthy individual comes from the same place as the person looking in. This could mean their city, province, country or even just North America as a whole. This may be because it feels like it is more attainable when the individual comes from more or less the same environment as you. While the star power may be a little brighter in the USA, Canada houses some of the most beautiful, lavish and mesmerizing landscape and views on earth. In that beautiful landscape you will also find some pretty extravagant neighbourhoods inhabited by some of the wealthiest people we have residing in our great country.
