My issue isn't with your chances of doing it or not but your comment that it wasn't that uncommon to see <35 as wealthy. I would say that it is very uncommon to see <35's with $20 million.
I found this write up from 2006 which is the height of this last phoney money creation boom that just happened.

At the end it claims 7000 Canadians out of about 32 million people as having 20 million or more. That actually surprised me as being a fair bit higher than I would have thought. Although today, I'd guess that number has shrunk a bit as real estate prices and stock prices have fallen. Still lets say it's accurate, that would be like 1 in every 4571 Canadians or 0.02% of Canadians being that wealthy.

But on the other hand...7000 people in this country did eventually get to that level one way or another, so it's not completely impossible either. Uncommon, but not impossible.
