1% rich isn't that rich. 1% rich can be pretty normal.
To join the ranks of the top 1% income in Canada, it's something like $250k per year.
1% net worth in Canada is under $10mm... Sure, that's a lot of money, but probably closely tied to real estate (not liquid) and doesn't leave the hookers and blow kind of inheritance to you kids like some here imagine.

Connor: You can't do anything with five, Greg. Five's a nightmare.
