How rich are the top 10 richest Canadians?

If you’re wondering how the one percent of the one percent is doing, Canadian Business has compiled its annual list of the 25 richest Canadians.
These lists are incredibly useful for reminding you that life is unfair and that you don’t get paid nearly enough money.
If it makes you feel any better, our richest people, The Thompson Family, are practically paupers with their trifling $36.76 billion compared with the world’s richest person, Carlos Slim Helu, who is worth $72.9 billion. Plus, if one assumes that Canadian Business’s list is listing net worth by Canadian dollars, then Helu is actually worth $97.23 billion.
What? That doesn’t make you feel better? Well, you’re just impossible to please aren’t you?
OK, here are the top 10 richest Canadians and what they’re worth.
