I used to work with the founder of a company here in Calgary worth somewhere between $500M-$1B or so according to those "Top 25 richest people in Canada lists". Their lakeside place in the BC interior makes 1st line NHL'ers drool in terms of it's ridonkculous size.

I'd say the key to this was their ability to hire and surround themselves with good people that made unbelievably good decisions on their behalf. Unfortunately, they strayed from this in the latter years and are worth considerably less now because of this. Still in the 000's of millions but much less.

They've gone on to various philanthropic endeavors around town which is nice to see.
