Huge Wealth -- Intellect your guess. Conrad Black. -- Newspaper advert salesman Bud McDougall - office boy turned CEO H. Argus. P. Desmarais -- Bus driver with political connections. Campeau -- house builder in Studbury, turned retail megalomaniac Ron Southern -- Sold aluminum trailers to oil/metal/tree harvesters. Jimmy Pattison -- Grocer turned wheeler dealer advert King.. privatization whiz. Galen Weston -- inherited grocery chain, made good Pat Sheridan -- built the odd mine, bought/sold stock Reichmann family -- bought real estate, rented, built offices Thompson -- inherited newspaper chain, made good buying other newspapers, TV stations etc.. Pelladeau -- government publishing contracts, Tabloids in PQ Bombardier -- acquired patents in playthings, gov't connections. There are a few more I missed. Inheriting wealth is a sure fire way to make it. Also marrying it. I don't know how smart you have to be to make money, but it does not take a lot of brains to lose it. EC<:-}
