The international couple, who Ryan say split their time between Europe and New York City and are self-made, also bought the lot next door for an additional $7,500,000 to build a guest house and tennis courts.

The buyers were able to purchase the home because Whistler is exempt from a new law that prohibits foreigners from buying homes in Canada.

Worked myself to exhaustion to survive for about 15 years now. I've probably earned around a hundredth of that value.

I'm sure they've worked as hard as I've worked for about 1500 years. Or worked a hundred times harder every day in order to buy this house.

Man, rich people work really hard! I must be so fucking stupid and lazy.

I know your joking but in case people don’t get it: rich comes from luck, not from hard work.

Don’t work any harder than you have to, thinking it helps. It doesn’t change the statistical chance of you becoming rich.

Many people will say you can help along the luck. Those people are dumb.
